Last week, Ascendant Studios And Electronic Arts have finally lifted the veil on the universe ofImmortals of Aveumpreviously announced to Game Awardsthe very first game of the young company which will take the form ofA FPS where we will embody the Magnus Triarch Jaka mage if you prefer, because that’s the whole point of the game, to offer us dynamic clashes where we will use magic to shoot our enemies. With a release already set for July 20, the promotion will be brief and, no doubt to capitalize on the excitement generated by this first real preview, we are now entitled to a trailer of gameplay for more than 6 minutes, enough to take your breath away.
It is therefore on a battlefield that we fully discover Jack in action, using its three types of magic: Strength (blue), Life (green) and Chaos (red). With the Gauntlet on his right wrist, he will therefore be able to fire volleys of projectiles at enemies, while with his left hand, he will call upon objects, including a kind of lasso capable of catching and attracting an opponent to him as well as propelling him by clinging to anchor points, then allowing it to stay in the air for a short time. Navigating and using the opportunities offered by each game area will therefore be important to overcome threats. A kind of flask will shoot a green substance clinging to surfaces. THE Magnus is also able to spawn a crystallized wall or shield in front of him for protection. The last part of the video also highlighted a little riddle before a boss appears.
We also had an overview of the equipment related menu, with a whole bunch of stats displayed, different currencies and consumable items. It will therefore be necessary to evolve our rank of Magnus before we can equip ourselves with the best accessories, divided between Gauntlets (Sigils), Totems, Rings And Bracers.
In addition, other videos have been put online at the turn of a article on the official website returning to the use of theUnrealEngine 5.1showing a cinematic passage and several game environments.
This same article reveals in passing the minimum and recommended configurations on PCthe developers having wanted to offer a game accessible to hardwares in 1080p/60 fps while offering “an experience that exploits the beauty of Unreal Engine 5.1” for owners of big bikes. Note that this might change as optimization is ongoing.
