Among video game companies, few arouse more passions than EA. Not necessarily for good. Receiving a lot of criticism, sometimes undeservedly, their name is synonymous with questionable practices within the industry<\/strong>. It hasn’t helped that a developer, associated with one of their studios, has come out to talk about why one of the biggest failures of 2023 was a terrible idea.<\/p>\n\n\n

Immortals of Aveum is a game developed by Ascendant Studios and distributed by Electronic Arts<\/a> that was released for PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, and Xbox Series S on July 20, 2023. The game was a shooter in a fantasy world where shooting was combined with a magic system that, although it looked good on paper, ended up being extremely weak and lacking polish<\/strong>. This resulted in lukewarm reviews, a lackluster reception, and now, reflections on what went wrong from its own creators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to one of the members of Ascendant Studios, as told to IGN<\/a>, one of the reasons why the game has not worked is its budget. Considering that it was overvalued for being the debut project of a studio, he clarifies that the development cost 85 million and that, according to him, EA put around 40 million dollars for marketing and distribution<\/strong>. This gives us a staggering budget of 125 million dollars for a game without any kind of previous guarantee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
