Difficult to be an ambitious first game that meets all expectations. In order not to disappoint, the teams at Ascendant Studios have decided to postpone the release ofImmortals of Aveum to August 22. The next game published by Electronic Arts was scheduled for July 20.
“Immortals of Aveum it is a special game. To fully realize our vision, we’ll take a few more weeks,” Brett Robbins and his team explain in a blog post. “This will give us time to polish the game, finish optimizing all platforms, and ensure a successful launch. “
The Last of Us Case Law
It must be said that, since the beginning of the year, hasty releases have somewhat damaged the PC versions of several expected games, from Star Wars Jedi: Survivor TO the last of us part 1 the latter having suffered the wrath of players and critics for a few weeks. At EA like Ascendant Studios, we want to prevent this by finalizing features as best as possible for the game on PC. “We owe it to ourselves and to you to get it right,” the message concludes.
After five years of work, Immortals of Aveum He has big ambitions. This first-person shooter was presented at the Game Awards last December, it reappeared in April to already announce a summer release date. It has been delayed a month to fall on the eve of the inauguration of Gamescom (August 23-27), the video game fair in Cologne (Germany) that could be a great meeting for the industry, the main players who had planned to be there.
Therefore, this postponement of the game should be the only one, we promise in Ascendant, that claims to “touch the goal”, but prefers not to rush it. However, the response has been more than favorable. we were able to test this Immortals of Aveum during Summer Game Fest for a one hour session.
At the service of the magic and beauty of images
The game allows you to play as Jak, a young and somewhat headstrong combat mage who uses his magic against enemy weapons, using three types of power (blue, red and green, which have different characteristics). A mostly solo game that’s good in the age of multiplayer galore. Follow a story.
But Immortals of Aveum it is above all a particularly beautiful game, both in terms of settings and characters. The strength of the Unreal Engine 5.1 that already promises mountains and wonders, and above all crazy details in faces and environments. We don’t see any transition between the cutscenes and the game phases, except for the scene change from third to first person. And the game is advertised at 60 frames per second.
It’s easy to take the game in your hands and understand how to use and master your three powers according to the enemies that arrive in waves, often colored in to give you an idea of which power is being used or not being used. The combat phases are also quite enjoyable, even without much experience in shooting games. Each power is reminiscent of the types of weapons that can be found in a typical shooter (close range, long range, high damage) and can be combined.
Magic has that inexplicable effect of giving the feeling of being overwhelmed when we see our ability to eliminate opponents with the tips of our hands. And what about the Fury combo, which allows you to take out a large enemy faction from a distance in different ways.
Immortals of Aveum – Available August 22 on PS5, Xbox Series X⎜S and PC.
