'I wasn't too concerned with what the landscape of the industry was like. Fortunately, I had an investor who agreed with me, so in 2018 we founded the company really just to make this game, Immortals of Aveum.' It was a game I really wanted to play, and eventually it was a game I really wanted to make. 'That seemed like a real missed opportunity. 'As far as it being a magic shooter, the impetus for that came from my time on Call of Duty and just learning how to make a great, big-budget, mass market shooter, and then looking around and not seeing anyone doing that in the fantasy space,' Robbins says. The game combines Robbins' focus on single-player, his acumen with shooters from his tour of duty on Activision's flagship franchise, and… magic? The end result is the multiplatform Immortals of Aveum, set to launch July 20 through EA Originals.

'Single-player is something I've done my entire career, going all the way back to Crystal Dynamics and games like Blood Omen 2 and EA, where I was the creative director on Dead Space. 'I'd been working on Call of Duty for a number of years and I largely directed the single-player campaigns for that,' Robbins explains to.

When Bret Robbins left Sledgehammer to start Ascendant Studios in 2018, there was little doubt about what kind of game his new operation would specialize in.
