Immortals of Aveum launched with mixed critical reviews and went on to be a financial flop.

In the period after its release, developer Ascendent Studios laid off nearly half of its staff, with some citing the game’s performance as a motivating factor.

However, the game is still generating conversation in column inches months later. So, if this recent buzz has piqued your curiosity, we have information on the game’s length and chapter list below.

On paper, the fantasy shooter had all the makings of a success story: Creative director Bret Robbins, who has a wealth of experience working on Dead Space and games in the Call of Duty franchise, led the project; a sizeable team of around 100 developers were deployed to put the game together before it was published by EA.

But in a recent interview with GamesIndustry.biz, Robbins cited the jam-packed 2023 schedule – stuffed with huge releases such as Baldur’s Gate 3 and Starfield – as a reason the game did not perform financially.

“It was a murderer’s row of big games and we are a new studio, people didn’t know who we were. There are some questions around whether our marketing was targeting the right people or not. We just didn’t raise the awareness we needed,” he said.

Yet there is still reason to be optimistic about Immortals of Aveum. Ascendent is continually updating the game, and Robbins added that sales are increasing.

“The story of Immortals isn’t written yet. I was the creative director on Dead Space and people were discovering that for years and years. I think Immortals will be the same.”
