One Game Walked So Immortals of Aveum Could Run

EA’s renewed commitment to single-player experiences continues with its upcoming fantasy-themed first-person shooter Immortals of Aveum. Since the game’s announcement earlier this year, anticipation for the title has steadily grown thanks to the pedigree of the development team (who count BioShock, Borderlands, Call of Duty, and Metal Gear Solid vets among its staff) as well as the unique spin on first-person shooting in a fantasy-themed setting, using magic and spell casting instead of firearms. The combat and puzzle-solving gameplay showcased in the trailers for Immortals of Aveum help to establish it as the latest game in a long line of magic-based FPS that can trace their origins back to one title in particular – Hexen.
