Why Immortals of Aveum May Be One of the Biggest Games of the Year
Immortals of Aveum has been in development for five years at this point (which is surprised, considering the fact that until December, we hadn't head a single peep about it), so clearly, Ascendant Studios has been chipping away at it for a while as it looks to realize its vision of a single player magic shooter. Meanwhile, the fact that the developer has also said that it hopes to turn this into a franchise of its own tells you all you need to know about how high its hopes for its debut projects are.
Of course, very rarely will you find a developer that doesn't big up its game in similar fashion before launch, but from what we've seen of it so far, Immortals of Aveum certainly seems to be a game that may very well end up vindicating said bigging up. Here's hoping it can actually stick the landing.
