Immortals of Aveum The director hopes players will discover the game for “years to come,” according to a new interview.
Founder of Ascendant Studios and Immortals of Aveum director Bret Robbins talked about his experiences navigating the mixed launch of the fantasy first-person shooter (FPS).
Speaking in an interview with GamesIndustry.bizRobbins stated that, when it comes down to it immortalsthe “story hasn’t been written yet.
“I was creative director at Empty space, and people have been discovering that for years and years. I think immortals will be the same.”
Robbins also took time to address the FPS’s difficult launch. “You learn more from failures and mistakes than from successes. People should hear all kinds of stories, not just about the huge breakout hits, but also when things don’t go so well. And that doesn’t mean they’re not good, and it doesn’t mean the story shouldn’t be told.”
The game director then continued and delved into the nitty-gritty. “As we headed towards the launch we knew it was going to be very busy. This has been a very unusual year. (The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom) had come out, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor was something ahead of us. And as we neared launch, Baldur’s Gate 3 suddenly exploded right in front of us.
“We were sandwiched between a lot of different big games, or games from really big studios. We got absolutely lost in the noise.”
I interviewed Robbins last year before the game’s launch. At the time, he talked about how excited he was to take advantage of the “blank page” provided by the brand new intellectual property (IP) that immortals offered.
When it came to release, our Editor-in-Chief Jake Tucker, while impressed with the “fantastic world design” on display, found that the title “didn’t live up to its ambitions” due to simplistic combat and bland talent. system.
However, immortals still has plenty to offer. The signature military fantasy setting and bright visuals could make the FPS a cult classic in the future, should players choose to play the game again.
