Ubisoft had ambitious plans for Immortals 2 before it was canceled

Sources revealed that the Immortals sequel featured more realistic graphics and removed the narrator from the first game. The project also had less emphasis on puzzle solving and featured a more malleable story that leaned heavily on player choice.

According to the report, Immortals 2 featured a heavily customizable protagonist including a choice of gender. The main character would need to impress Polynesian gods in order to attain elemental and shape-shifting powers. Players gained new tattoos based on their choices as the story progressed.

Sources shared that the developers were considering rebranding Immortals 2 as an original game before it was canceled. It would have made sense as the canceled project featured a lot of gameplay elements that were a huge departure from the original.

Early in July, there were rumblings that Ubisoft pulled the plug on Immortals 2. The French video game publisher confirmed to VGC that it was reallocating creative teams and resources to other projects soon after.

As part of our global strategy, we are redirecting and reallocating some creative teams and resources within the Quebec studio to other unannounced projects," Ubisoft said. "The expertise and technologies these teams developed will serve as an accelerator for the development of these key projects focused on our biggest brands. We have nothing further to share at this time."

Ubisoft revealed during its Q1 earnings call that it is planning to release ten games before the end of the fiscal year including one "large game". The list of upcoming games includes Assassin's Creed Mirage, XDefiant, Skull and Bones, and Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora. Industry experts assume that Star Wars: Outlaw is the mystery "large game" that the publisher mentioned in its plans.
