So to get you caught up ahead of its release, here\u2019s a full overview of all there is to know about Immortals of Aveum. Contents Immortals of Aveum: Release date Immortals of Aveum has locked in an August 22, 2023 release date. While initially slated to release on July 20, devs soon announced a one-month delay in order to make the best first impression on launch. With extra time to polish, devs are hoping to \u201cget this right\u201d and give players a solid day-one experience. Immortals of Aveum: Platforms Immortals of Aveum is set to release across PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X | S, and PC through Steam, the Epic Games Store, and the EA PC application. This means last-gen console hardware is out of the picture, as devs have specifically honed their efforts on newer rigs instead. And given the intense particle effects and detailed visuals present in early gameplay, there\u2019s a good chance this one isn\u2019t ported backward down the line. Immortals of Aveum: Characters & cast The sprawling narrative of Immortals of Aveum is bolstered by a star-studded cast of Hollywood stars, some of which are making their video game debut, while others you may recognize from other, perhaps eerily similar roles in the space. Headlining the batch is none other than Gina Torres as General Kirkan, the leader of the Immortals, a group comprising the most powerful Battlemages. While a popular actor from her years in Firefly, Suits, and The Matrix, she\u2019s also prominent in the gaming space for her role as Ikora Rey in the Destiny franchise. Players assume the role of Jak, a newer recruit under Torres\u2019 lead, voiced by Darren Barnett. Mixing it up among the group we find even more renowned actors of which, you can find below with a full look at everyone confirmed for the Immortals of Aveum cast thus far: Gina Torres \u2013 General Kirkan – Darren Barnett \u2013 Jak – Antonio Aakeel \u2013 Devyn – Lily Cowles \u2013 Zendara – Steven Brand \u2013 Sandrakk – Yvonne Senat Jones \u2013 The Hand – Immortals of Aveum: Trailers Teaser Trailer Reveal Trailer Immortals of Aveum Gameplay trailer Immortals of Aveum Colossal Assault trailer Immortals of Aveum Unpacked trailer Immortals of Aveum: Story details At its core, Immortals of Aveum is about the \u2018Everwar,\u2019 a seemingly unending conflict that\u2019s raged on for generations. This ceaseless battle between \u2018Aveum\u2019s two most powerful kingdoms,\u2019 is contested over the control of ley lines, what are described as \u2018huge conduits of magical power.\u2019 Picking up at a crucial time in this battle, Jak, our protagonist, evolves into a battlemage after growing up powerless, then joining forces with the Immortals to fend off the looming threat of Rasharn. Leading the assault is Sandrakk, a key villain backed primarily by a second in command referred to only as \u2018The Hand.\u2019 Exactly where this narrative goes from there, and who emerges from the Everwar victorious, if anyone, is something we\u2019ll have to unravel through what\u2019s teased as a 25+ hour game. Immortals of Aveum gameplay: A magic-infused FPS So we know what Immortals of Aveum is about and who\u2019s in it, but what exactly are we doing in the game? Well, pushing us forward through the epic fantasy story is an explosive FPS loop, one that simply trades in authentic firearms for battlemage spells instead. As a Triarch, Jak is able to manipulate all three types of magical power found throughout the land of Aveum. By alternating through these powers, we can fire off a range of unique abilities that in some respect, mirror the actions of weapons you might be familiar with from other FPS titles. One form of magic might replicate the effects of a shotgun blast, for instance, while another may serve as a fully-automatic weapon, tracking down targets like a Needler from Halo. Jumping from one combat sequence to another, however, is just one part of the flow. Breaking things up, players will find a balance of Metroidvania-esque exploration and even puzzles to boot, ones that require magical prowess to complete. So it\u2019d be wise not to go in expecting a 25-hour corridor shooter from start to finish. Through our own hands-on experience with an early gameplay demo, we can assure you it\u2019s very much a diverse mix. So there you have it, everything we know about Immortals of Aveum thus far. We\u2019ll be sure to update you here as any further details emerge ahead of its release. But in the meantime, feel free to brush up on some other upcoming titles as 2023 rolls on: The Elder Scrolls 6 | GTA 6 | Assassin\u2019s Creed Infinity | Wolverine | Spider-Man 2 | KOTR Remake | Wonder Woman | DokeV | Dragon Age 4 | Legend of Zelda: Breath of The Wild sequel | The Witcher 3 next-gen patch | Avatar Frontiers of Pandora | Haunted Chocolatier<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
