After 5 years in development and heavily pushing Unreal Engine 5 technologies, Immortals of Aveum was met with a whopping 751 player peak. For reference, Forspoken was considered a flop but still had over 12,000 players peak total. This may be the biggest flop of the year.

    I can’t imagine how soul-destroying it must be to put so much time and effort into a big-budget game like this only for it to flop so utterly. Even notoriously bad games sell at least a few thousand copies; being ignored is even worse. I’d say “at least it’s not an indie game,” but then most indie developers would expect their games to have minimal uptake these days.

      It is an indie game tho, it’s just published under EA’s EA Originals label which is for indie studios.

      From the other reviews it doesn’t sound like they put TOO much time and effort into it…

        “They” as in the whole development studio? Probably not. But “they” who worked on the game did most likely put in a lot of time and effort.
