First Person Magic Shooter Immortals Of Aveum Blends Battlefield with the Arcane

Immortals of Aveum is an upcoming shooter from Electronic Arts. However, it's nothing like your typical Call of Duty, Destiny, or Rainbow Six games. Instead of using guns, you'll wield magic to bring down enemies and get around the battlefield. It's a unique take on the classic shooter genre and one that looks rather impressive.

As an FPS, Immortals of Aveum already appears to be in good hands with EA. Th  e studio is quite familiar with the shooter genre, with franchises such as Battlefield, Dead Space, and Crysis. However, you won't rely on guns or special forces, instead, you'll step into the role of an Immortal Magnus and wield a special type of magic to overcome challenges and fight enemies.

The game is set in the world of Aveum during the Everwar as two kingdoms fight for the control of magic. You can use three types of magic: red, green, and blue. Each is tied to a different theme with red being entropy and violence, green focusing on rebirth and death, and blue on force and telekinesis of objects

Taking the standard formula of aiming down the barrel of a gun and swapping out the weapon for magic is interesting and a breath of fresh air. Though if you're looking for a multiplayer mode like in Battlefield, it's only a single-player game.  

Immortals of Aveum will release on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC on July 20th.
