Interestingly though, while it may have snuck up on people out of nowhere as a new IP from a new indie studio, it’s been in the works for a while. Developer Ascendant Studios – founded by Bret Robins, who directed the original Dead Space and multiple Call of Duty games at Sledgehammer Games – was founded back in 2018, and its debut title has been in the works for five years at this point.

In fact, Robbins recently also confirmed in an interview with MinnMax that the fantasy first person shooter is close to wrapping up development, while also talking about how Ascendant Studios had to grow during the course of the game’s production.

“I feel great. The game’s awesome, we’re finaling it now,” Robbins said. “I think people are going to really, really like it. It’s something new, something original, so yeah, I’m super excited about it. It has been five years, I can’t believe it’s been five years. In fairness, when I founded the company, there was one person, so we had to grow quite a bit. And that can take up some of the time.”

Immortals of Aveum is set to receive its full reveal on April 13, so we’re set to find out plenty more about the single player magic shooter. The game is in development for PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC, and according to a recent rumour, will be launching on July 20. Stay tuned in the coming days for more details.

That will soon be changing though.

Ascendant Studios has confirmed that Immortals of Aveum will get its full official reveal later this week, on April 13.

Promising “an action-packed campaign with a magic twist”, the developer has also shown a sneak peak of the upcoming reveal, where game director and CEO Bret Robbins – who has previously served as creative director on the original Dead Space, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare, and Call of Duty: WW2 – speaks about how he first got the idea that would go on to give birth to Immortals of Aveum.

Immortals of Aveum is in development for PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC. A recent leak claimed the game will launch on July 20, so there’s a chance that launch date gets officially announced along with the full reveal later this week.

Set to be published under the EA Originals label, Immortals of Aveum is being led by the creative director of the likes of Dead Space, Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare, and more, and is promising a single player fantasy FPS campaign.

When exactly will it be out though? Well, apparently, it’s not too far away. According to prominent leaker @billbul_kun on Twitter, Immortals of Aveum will launch on July 20. While that might seem a bit too soon for a game that we have seen next to no gameplay footage of, it’s worth pointing out that developer Ascendant Studios recently confirmed that new details on its debut title will be shared “very soon”.

Immortals of Aveum is in development for PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC. Stay tuned for more updates in the coming days and weeks.

Immortals of Aveum is a single player first person shooter, but combat is all about magic and magical spells instead of your typical weapons. Built on Unreal Engine 5, the game is set in “an original fantasy universe engulfed in magic, rife with conflict, and on the verge of oblivion”, and promises a “visceral, cinematic campaign”.

Immortals of Aveum will be the debut project of indie developer Ascendant Studios, but it has a pretty experienced development team, comprised of multiple veteran developers. It is led by game director and CEO Bret Robbins, who has previously served as creative director on the original Dead Space, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare, and Call of Duty: WW2. 

“I was the creative director on four big games in a row, the original Dead Space and three Call of Duty titles, and I had an amazing opportunity to start my own studio and build an incredible team that I’m lucky to work with every day,” Robins said in a press release. “I founded Ascendant Studios to make original and epic games, and here we are, four years later, about to finish our first one. What started as a crazy, exciting idea has grown into a crazy, exciting triple-A game. I chose EA as our publishing partner because we know they’ll help Immortals of Aveum reach the biggest audience possible. I’m thrilled to have the expertise and resources of EA backing us and I can’t wait for everyone to play.”

Immortals of Aveum is due out sometime in 2023 for PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC. Check out its reveal trailer below.
