Greek mythology probably had one of its best year’s yet in 2020 with a ton of different media that referenced and drew from the pantheon of Greek gods and monsters. Alongside games likeHades, one of the most notable Greek mythology-inspired games from 2020 wasImmortals Fenyx Rising, which happens to be crossing over with one of last year’s other notable mythological stories,the animated Netflix seriesBlood of Zeus.
Ubisoft has announced thatImmortalsis getting a limited time crossover event with Netflix’sBlood of Zeus, with the crossover bringing some additional content to the game inspired by the hit animated series. From today through January 28, players will be able to take part in a new quest called “A Tribute to Family,” which will challenge players to fight the Chimera and Cerberus in exchange for special items and new character customization options inspired by the Netflix series.
Alongside the new quest, theBlood of Zeuscrossover will also feature a new weapon and character pack that will be available to purchase in-game even after the end of the crossover event on January 28. Specifically, the packs include new weapon skins for the Sword, Axe, and Bow and a collection of armor and gear all based around the animated series.
Given the shared connection between the two properties and their inspiration from Greek mythology, it isn’t too surprising to seeImmortalsandBlood of Zeuscrossing over in this way. The first season ofBlood of Zeuswas released in October of last year (shortly beforeImmortals' release), and last month Netflix had officially renewed the series for a second season. The creators of the series also have long-term plans for the show, with around 5 seasons planned (so far) for the story to unfold.
Immortals Fenyx Risingis available now on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, Google Stadia, Amazon Luna, and PC.
