Beyond Battles and Spells: Explore Aveum’s mysteries, puzzles, and diverse terrains.
In an unprecedented blending of magic and combat, Immortals of Aveum sets a novel bar for first-person shooter games. The narrative orbits around Jak, portrayed by Darren Barnet, a regular being who, unbeknownst to him, is an ‘Unforeseen’ with innate magical capabilities. The onset of the Everwar finds him torn between powerful magic users and massive armies, only to be mentored by the formidable General Kirkan, Gina Torres’s character. The journey unfolds as Jak grapples with the enigma of Aveum’s past and the overarching threat posed by warlord Sandrakk of Rasharn.
Bret Robbins, the mastermind and CEO at Ascendant Studios, encapsulated the ethos of the game, stating, “We built a world-class team, learned Unreal Engine 5, and created an amazing combat system and story from scratch – all through the adversity of Covid. It’s been the best experience of my professional life.” EA Originals, in their collaboration with Ascendant Studios, played an instrumental role in manifesting this game vision.
What makes Immortals of Aveum stand apart isn’t solely the invigorating story-line. It promises an adrenaline-charged gaming experience, challenging players with fluid combat maneuvers and a rich array of over 25 spells. With the intricate character progression system, players can craft their journey, culminating in numerous ways to dismantle adversaries.
However, Aveum isn’t just about combat. This fantastical universe flourishes with puzzles, rich narratives, and distinct terrains—from Lucium’s verdant expanses to the wintry crests of Kalthus. Not to overlook the exemplary voiceovers by acclaimed actors like Gina Torres, Darren Barnett, Antonio Aakeel, and Lily Cowles, which breathe life into these larger-than-life personas.
Jeff Gamon of EA Partners extolled the game’s pioneering spirit, saying, “Ascendant Studios have cast FPS conventions to the wayside with Immortals of Aveum. We have championed studios that are forging new ways to play, who aren’t afraid to disrupt.”
Immortals of Aveum beckons from digital shelves on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PCs. Those seeking the Deluxe Edition are in for bonus in-game gear, an addition that will bolster their quest to preserve Aveum.
