Nearly Half Of Immortals Of Aveum Dev Ascendant Studios Has Been Laid Off Due To Poor Gross sales Barely A Month After Aveum’s Launch

Immortals Of Aveum arrived on consoles and PC on August 22, 2023, which implies that it’s been out for just a little greater than a month now.

In that point, it seemingly hasn’t bought practically in addition to developer Ascendant Studios and writer EA would’ve hoped, as Ascendant Studios has reportedly laid off virtually half its employees because of the sport’s lackluster gross sales.

A former Ascendant Studios worker instructed Polygon that the layoffs got here from “poor gross sales,” although its tough to think about what constitutes poor gross sales solely a month into the sport’s lifecycle, and why an estimated 40 folks needed to be let go.

For all the joy round Aveum earlier than its launch, it looks like it didn’t land with gamers in the best way Ascendant Studios hoped. It sits at combined scores on Metacritic, and based on what one other former worker instructed Polygon, it’s “one among Digital Arts worst promoting Originals.”

It’s by no means nice to see layoffs like this, and hopefully all these builders now on the lookout for work land on their toes quickly.
