Magic shooter Immortals of Aveum was inspired by Call of Duty, but aims for much more

Sharing is caring!

In Immortals of Aveum, players will plunge into a colorful, action-packed 25-hour-plus single-player campaign designed to make them feel like gunslinging battlemages in a quest to save a world teetering on the brink of magical annihilation.

Inspired by those frantic, chaotic moments in the best of the Call of Duty games and injected with the story scope of a classic Telltale Games title, the first-person magic shooter hits Windows PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox X/S on July 20.

In a two-hour-or-so-long briefing with some of the Ascendant Studio team, the virtually gathered press were presented with the history of the studio, some of the backstory of the game, along with a bit of pre-recorded gameplay and a chance to pepper the developers with questions.

Ascendant Studio founder Bret Robbins calls Immortals of Aveum, which was developed with Unreal Engine 5.1, the sort of game that hasn’t been seen for many, many years.
