Immortals Fenyx Rising<\/a> is now just weeks away from launching on Nintendo Switch, but we’re still learning plenty of new, quirky facts about Ubisoft’s next action-adventure title.<\/p>\n

In an interview with Game Informer<\/a>, game director Scott Phillips has revealed a cool little tidbit about Immortals Fenyx Rising’s early development. As it happens, a bug found in Assassin’s Creed Odyssey<\/a> kickstarted the inspiration the team needed to get started on a new project:<\/p>\n

Recently, Ubisoft has also unveiled its post-launch DLC plans<\/a> for the title \u2013 including details of its season pass \u2013 and also teased a collaboration with Cartoon Network’s Adventure Time<\/a>.<\/p>\n
