Ascendant Studios’ groundbreaking first-person shooter, Immortals of Aveum, has seen a significant discount just under four months since its release, offering gamers an enticing opportunity to dive into a fresh and spellbinding gaming experience.

Launched on August 22, the game stands out as a pioneer in harnessing cutting-edge technologies from Unreal Engine 5, including Nanite, Lumen, and Niagara. Despite being hailed as the engine’s exciting new showcase and delivering an innovative spell-based action adventure, Immortals of Aveum struggled to attract a wide audience and faced disappointing sales figures.

Recently, the game received a substantial price drop on the Microsoft online game store, with Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscribers in the U.S. snagging the Deluxe Edition for a brief period at an astonishing $7.99, down from the usual $79.99. While that offer has concluded, the Deluxe Edition remains on sale for $31.99, presenting an appealing option for gamers seeking a unique first-person experience with magic-based gameplay and captivating fantasy storytelling.

Developed by Ascendant Studios, founded by industry veterans including former Dead Space creative director Bret Robbins, Immortals of Aveum made its debut at the 2022 Game Awards and was published under Electronic Arts’ EA Originals program.

Despite initial sales challenges leading to significant layoffs at Ascendant Studios, Robbins assured players of ongoing support for the title and hinted at potential future attention for the original IP. The recent Echollector Update (1.0.6.0) showcased the studio’s commitment, introducing fresh content, gear, performance enhancements, and a New Game Plus mode, signaling a promising direction for Immortals of Aveum.
