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 wonder how much of that is just due to it being an EA game and so people pick it up on the EA store. Although could also be their marketing. Maybe I’m just not in the target demographic but I saw 1 ad for it before launch and it explained nothing about the game. From that all I took was that it looked like a shitty early access game.

I thought you were going somewhere else with it being an EA game, lol
