Immortals of Aveum release date, pre-order and latest news
Everything there is to know about this magic fantasy first-person shooter.
Immortals of Aveum is an upcoming first-person shooter from the devs behind Dead Space and Call of Duty.
However, it isn't your typical FPS affair. In fact, it might be a stretch to call it a "shooter" at all.
Using the Unreal Engine 5.1, EA Originals looks to be to creating a unique first-person experience. Instead of bullets, we'll be firing a plethora of spells, because Immortals of Aveum is actually a fantasy. Think Call of Duty crossed with Skyrim.
We reckon it looks epic, with gameplay like nothing we've seen before, cinematic set pieces, and a rich lore to explore.
There's also some killer voice talent involved - check out our exclusive interview with Darren Barnet!
Interested? You're in luck, because Immortals of Aveum drops this week!
We'll share all the info below.

Which consoles and platforms can play Immortals of Aveum?
Immortals of Aveum is available on PS5, Xbox Series X/S and PC (Steam and Epic Games Store).
If you’re still gaming on the PS4 or Xbox One, you won’t be able to play this EA Originals’ published game. According to the official FAQ page, this is because the team is "developing this game for current generation consoles and PC to deliver maximum fidelity, performance, and a cutting edge cinematic campaign experience".
This means it won’t appear on Nintendo Switch, either. You’ll have to have a PS5, Xbox Series X/S or PC powerful enough to play it.
Immortals of Aveum gameplay and story details
Directed by Bret Robbins, formerly creative director of Dead Space, the Immortals of Aveum plot could prove to be a memorable one.
In the single-player-only game you take control of Jak (no Daxter, sorry), an elite Triarch Magnus on a mission to save Aveum. The ongoing Everwar is the backdrop and you will need to uncover the mysteries of Aveum in order to save its future.
In terms of gameplay, Immortals of Aveum looks a little like the recent Doom reboot games with magic and far less (if any) ultraviolence. It’s fast, frantic and looks a lot of fun. Check it out in action by watching the gameplay trailer below:
With over 25 spells and 80 talents to unlock and master across three forces of magic there is plenty to learn and master. There looks to be some intense boss battles, too. Plenty to sink your teeth into.
Is there an Immortals of Aveum trailer?
Yes, there is a reveal trailer that you can watch below that shows off the game’s highly detailed cinematics, first-person magic combat, and gives an overview of its story:
