Have you ever wanted to be an epic spell-caster in a magical universe but found that the mechanics of traditional fantasy games just don’t get the feeling right?

Well, EA Originals and Ascendant Studios have the perfect solution for you with their brand-new game, Immortals of Aveum.

Immortals of Aveum
Welcome, spell-caster, to the magical realm of Aveum, an original fantasy universe engulfed in magic. You enter the realm as Jak, a young man who has joined an elite order of battlemages called Immortals, who has the unique ability to master all three colours of magic that exist in this realm, blue, green and red.
Not only is this a fantasy game with excellent and innovative mechanics, but it also has a visceral and story-driven cinematic feel as you are thrust into a magical world rife with conflict and on the edge of disaster. You will meet unforgettable characters and hit the ground running with fast-paced action and an adventure you will love.
Gameplay
From the trailer and the exclusive press event in April, we saw that Immortals of Aveum is an entirely new FPS experience that defies all FPS conventions while still feeling the same as the FPS games we are used to. The combat is spell-based and has an element of chained attacks and well-timed counters, combining mechanics from well-loved games like Darksouls with FPS games.
