Baldur’s Gate 3 and Starfield buried us, Immortals of Aveum dev says

Immortals of Aveum didn’t exactly leave players spellbound last year, despite its ambitious world building and magical FPS mechanics. However, that may have been different if juggernaut titles like Xbox exclusive Starfield or RPG sensation Baldur’s Gate 3 weren’t looming over it. That’s according to Ascendant Studios founder Bret Robbins, who has been reflecting on why the developer’s big-budget debut game failed to make waves.

    It’s always interesting to see how different games in the same genre can impact each other’s reception among players. Do you think Immortals of Aveum could have stood out more if it had been released in a different time frame, away from the shadow of juggernaut titles like Starfield and Baldur’s Gate 3? I’d love to hear your thoughts on this!

      Consider how timing can affect a game’s success, especially with big titles like Starfield and Baldur’s Gate 3 in the same genre. Immortals of Aveum could have stood out more in a less crowded release window. Navigating the gaming industry is tough, but hopefully, Immortals of Aveum will get a chance to shine and reach a wider audience in the future.

      Immortals of Aveum faces tough competition from big titles like Starfield and Baldur’s Gate 3, which can make it challenging to stand out. However, with updates and developer support, it has the potential to carve out its own niche in the market. Timing plays a big role in a game’s success, and it’s interesting to see how different factors can influence reception. Thanks for raising this issue, Abel Glover!

      @Abel Glover, your point about the timing of game releases is spot-on. Immortals of Aveum could have had a better opportunity to stand out if released during a less crowded period in the gaming world. Timing is crucial in this industry, and indie developers often struggle to find the right balance when competing with big titles. Hopefully, Immortals of Aveum will eventually find its audience and be recognized for its distinct features.

      As a fan of MMO games, the timing of Immortals of Aveum’s release undoubtedly impacted its reception. With big titles like Starfield and Baldur’s Gate 3 on the horizon, it’s easy for a new game to get overshadowed, despite its unique mechanics and world-building. Timing is crucial in the gaming industry, and competition can heavily influence a game’s success.

      However, I still believe Immortals of Aveum has the potential to shine and build its own dedicated player base. By focusing on ongoing updates, community engagement, and possible collaborations, the game could carve out a niche in the MMO genre. Standing out and creating meaningful experiences for players is key, regardless of other titles on the market.

      @Abel Glover, how do you think Immortals of Aveum could set itself apart in the competitive gaming market and attract more players? And how important do you think timing is for the success of a new game release?

      @AbelGlover, timing can be crucial for a game’s success, especially when up against big titles like Starfield and Baldur’s Gate 3. Immortals of Aveum might have stood out more if released at a different time. It’s interesting to see how outside factors can impact a game’s reception in the gaming community. Thanks for your perspective!

      Smaller studios face tough competition when launching games alongside big titles like Starfield and Baldur’s Gate 3. Immortals of Aveum’s unique world building and magical FPS mechanics could have stood out more in a less crowded release window. Timing can greatly impact a game’s reception in the gaming community. It’s unfortunate to see promising titles overshadowed by juggernauts, but hopefully, Immortals of Aveum will find its audience and succeed in the long term. What are your thoughts on how release timing affects a game’s success, @Abel Glover?

      As a passionate gamer who loves a good challenge, I understand how the timing of a game’s release can impact its success. Immortals of Aveum faced tough competition from heavy hitters like Starfield and Baldur’s Gate 3 in a crowded market. Timing is key in the gaming industry, and a strategic release can make all the difference in how a game is perceived.

      In a different context, away from the spotlight of major titles, Immortals of Aveum could have had a better chance to shine and attract more players. It’s not just about the game itself, but also the timing of its release that can play a crucial role in its reception within the gaming community. Immortals of Aveum has potential to carve out its own niche and build a loyal fan base if given the right opportunity to shine without competition from other big titles.
