EA’s Heretic-like magic FPS Immortals of Aveum is delayed

Immortals of Aveum is part of a vanishingly niche tradition: a linear first-person shooter issued by a major publisher, in this case, EA. The twist is that instead of rifles it has magic, so those of us begging for a Heretic revival may find comfort in Immortals of Aveum’s war wizard theme. We’ll need to wait a bit longer than originally planned though, because the release date of July 20 has been pushed back—just a touch—to August 22.

“In order to realize our full vision, we are going to take a few extra weeks, making our new launch date Tuesday, August 22nd,” Ascendant Studios’ announcement reads. “This will give us time to further polish the game, finish optimizing all platforms, and deliver a strong launch. We owe it to ourselves and to you to get this right.”
