Immortals of Aveum was released in August 2023, competing against several top-tier titles that effortlessly dominated the charts but ultimately fell flat and failed to perform. A former developer recently said that it was a mistake to try and release Immortals of Aveum when they did, competing with such a dense roster of titles, and reportedly, the game cost a whopping $125 million to bring to market.
Earlier today, Immortals of Aveum was spotted being sold in Asda, a UK-based supermarket, for just £1 as the retailer attempts to clear stock of the game that was stopped dead in its tracks from the moment it launched.

Immortals of Aveum spoke a good game in early trailers and showcases, but it failed to deliver when it came time to walk the walk. It picked up relatively good reviews across the board but couldn’t retain any solid player base, falling out of relevance almost as quickly as it had appeared.
