Immortals of Aveum is considered to be one of 2023’s more interesting FPS games despite lackluster sales, and now it is getting major updates.
Immortals of Aveum is bringing HDR and AMD FSR 3 to consoles, with updates coming to PC later. Immortals of Aveum was released in August 2023, immediately distinguishing itself from other FPS games through its focus on the use of magic within its gameplay instead of traditional guns. The game was developed by Ascendant Studios, a new team made up of industry veterans involved in games like Dead Space and Call of Duty. Immortals of Aveum additionally features popular actors such as Never Have I Ever‘s Darren Barnet and Suits‘ Gina Torres.
Immortals of Aveum garnered mixed reviews from fans and critics, who appreciated the constant visual spectacles the game was capable of achieving while providing combat with a nice flow and an overall dedicated focus to the single player experience. However, some players think that it had somewhat repetitive gameplay and characters that are hard to love.
Immortals of Aveum introduced HDR support in its latest patch, and teased AMD FSR3 for its next one. Ascendant Studios revealed the upcoming changes, promising that HDR will enhance the visuals by adding more depth. Ascendant discussed further fine-tuning that went into the process of HDR implementation and notes. Next, Ascendant talked about the inclusion of AMD FSR 3 in the upcoming 1.0.6.4 console patch, and noted that both updates will come to PC soon. The advanced frame generation technology will improve framerates and overall performance.
Immortals of Aveum Update Promises Visual Upgrades
The focus on updating and improving the visuals of Immortals of Aveum falls in line with the popular opinion that its visuals were one of its best features. The graphics accentuate a color-coded magic system full of particles. The ability to mix and match combat approaches per the situation has some fans thinking Immortals of Aveum has one of the best magic systems in games.
Gamers who are interested in the unique performance aspects of this release may enjoy seeing what sets it apart from others. This update comes right on time with the game’s introduction to a new potential audience. Immortals of Aveum is free for PS Plus Essential members this April, so PlayStation players who are interested but haven’t had the chance to try it out may want to get this one now.
It seems the team at Ascendant is committed to improving the experience, but despite its clear vision, the game did not initially sell particularly well. A month after its release, the team at Ascendant was hit with layoffs that appeared to be reflective of the low sales. Anonymous former developers have talked about the struggles surrounding Immortals of Aveum, but it is possible that its time on PS Plus will give it new fans.
