Immortals of Aveum now delayed to late August

Ascending up the Calendar

Electronic Arts has announced that its mythic first-person adventure Immortals of Aveum has been delayed by a month and will not meet its July 20 release date — The battlemages will now wage their wars on PC and console platforms on August 22.

“The recent feedback to the game proves to us what we already felt: that Immortals of Aveum is something special,” notes Bret Robbins of developer Ascendant Studios. “In order to realize our full vision, we are going to take a few extra weeks, making our new launch date Tuesday, August 22. 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.”

“Stay tuned for more info about the game in the coming weeks, and thank you for taking part in this journey with us!”

Announced at The Game Awards last winter, Immortals of Aveum sees a realm of powerful battlemages fighting to prevent the extinction of their planet and people. The title uses deep magic structure to forge a visually impressive combat system, with a wide variety of defensive and offensive abilities, all of which can be bolstered via the player’s skill tree. As the first release by Ascendant Studios, (which is comprised of several AAA veterans), Immortals of Aveum is an ambitious debutante title.

Immortals of Aveum launches August 22 on PS5, PC, and Xbox Series X.
