• Myths of the Eastern Realm – Set in Chinese Mythology, the game’s second episode will introduce a new hero, Ku, who sets out on a journey to save mortals in a new mystical land at the frontier of the Sky and Earth. Players will need to master Ku’s unique fighting style and abilities, inspired by Chinese martial arts, to defeat new enemies and monsters from Chinese mythology.
• The Lost Gods – The third and final episode will feature top-down gameplay, all-new brawler combat and a new hero, Ash, chosen by Fenyx to bring back the lost gods. The episode will take place on a new mysterious island where players will explore regions inspired by these lost gods, to restore balance on Earth.

The season pass is included in the Immortals Fenyx Rising Gold Edition and is also available for purchase separately for $49.99. Immortals Fenyx Rising launches on December 3rd for Stadia, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, PC, Luna and Nintendo Switch.
