Ubisoft explains why Immortals: Fenyx Rising uses narrators to tell its story

Immortals: Fenyx Rising has a grand story to tell, but you won't hear the main character telling it. The game's story is narrated by Zeus and Prometheus, and in an interview with Eurogamer, director Scott Phillips explains why that is.

"We felt this was a different way to tell the story. We still wanted a strong main character but felt these narrators let us be a little more verbose with the history without it feeling like the player character is a historian taking you on a tour. Zeus and Prometheus go on this learning journey about Zeus, king of the gods. You as Fenyx go on a journey meeting all these gods and gaining their help to defeat Typhon. Those two stories weave back and forth together and conclude together. Overall it's a bit Ancient Greek Guardians of the Galaxy - its interactions are lighthearted but the stakes are epic - and world-ending if you don't succeed in your task."
