Immortals of Aveum release delayed by one month

Immortals of Aveum, a groundbreaking single-player, first-person magic shooter published under EA and developed by Ascendant Studios, announced on its official website that the launch date is being pushed by a month. Previously slated for July 20, 2023, Immortals of Aveum will now release August 22, 2023.

The news was posted in a link on the official Twitter account of Ascendant Studios. When you access it, you can see a message from the game director Bret Robbins and the Ascendant Team:

As you know, this is our first game as a self-funded independent studio. We set out five years ago to ambitiously make an original Magic FPS in a new fantasy world. Along the way, we worked through a pandemic, built a new team, developed on Unreal Engine 5.1 and pushed the boundaries of what we thought was possible. Now, the finish line is in sight.

The recent feedback to the game proves to us what we already felt: that Immortals of Aveum is something special. In order to realize our full vision, we are going to take a few extra weeks, making our new launch date Tuesday, August 22nd. This will give us time to further polish the game, finish optimizing all platforms, and deliver a strong launch. We owe it to ourselves and to you to get this right.

Immortals of Aveum is set in an original fantasy universe engulfed in magic, rife with conflict, and on the verge of oblivion. Having grown up powerless and destitute, Jak is what's known as an Unforeseen – someone who unexpectedly manifests magical abilities later in life. With his newfound potential, Jak is recruited by General Kirkan to join the Order of the Immortals and is reluctantly thrust into mankind's endless war for the control of magic. With powerful magic-wielders and legions of soldiers on both sides of the Everwar, Jak and his elite order of Immortals must uncover the mysteries of Aveum's troubled past, if there's any hope for saving its future.

The game received a new gameplay trailer In the PlayStation Showcase. The footage displays Jak wielding three types of magic based on colors - blue for Strength, green for Life, and red for Chaos - in a fast-paced first-person action sequence. 

While a delay in a release always messes with our expectations, the industry appreciates the studios' transparency and understands that it's a good call. The release of Immortals of Aveum is now scheduled for August 22. The game will launch for PlayStation 5, Windows PC, and Xbox Series X.
