After 5 years in development and heavily pushing Unreal Engine 5 technologies, Immortals of Aveum was met with a whopping 751 player peak. For reference, Forspoken was considered a flop but still had over 12,000 players peak total. This may be the biggest flop of the year.

I don't necessarily think title is the issue. Some of the biggest name games out there use pretty basic words: "God of War", "The Last of Us". They definitely lose some attention by being a brand new IP without much of a "signature feel" to them, like giant mechs, zombies, or princess magic.

I'm not talking about the title as in the name of the game. I'm talking about it in the sense of the game itself

"God of War" and "The Last of Us" are both incredible titles. They consist of simple words, immediately signal what the game is about, and have a poetic ring to them.
