Just weeks after announcing work on new projects, Ascendant Studios has furloughed most of its remaining employees, casting doubt on the future of Immortals of Aveum.
- Ascendant Studios, developer of Immortals of Aveum, has furloughed the majority of its remaining staff, following a significant layoff six months ago.
- The furloughs come shortly after the studio announced updates and work on new projects, surprising both fans and industry observers.
- Affected employees will retain their positions but face reduced or no work hours, and are ineligible for severance pay, though benefits remain intact.

- There is growing concern among the gaming community about the future updates and the overall direction of the Immortals of Aveum project.
