Arena of Shooter Games: Will XDefiant, Immortals of Aveum, and Unrecord fill the gaps currently left by Call of Duty?

For the longest time, Call of Duty has dominated the online FPS scene. Being one of the go-to titles for arena shooters and competitive play, COD is the face of the genre. Being the biggest name in the scene, many believe that it has been lacking in many aspects for the past couple of years, becoming a predictable mess that doesn’t allow “fun”.

Many titles have tried to replicate the classic feel of Call of Duty games while presenting something new to the table, but inevitably people kept on going back to Activision’s titular title, over and over again. But this time a new set of contenders are all set to make their debut, each with their own distinct charm and promise to bring aspect that COD “lacks”.

Brand new contenders for the crown of Call of Duty!

From hyper-realistic body cam visuals to incorporating magic and RPG elements in shooting games, these are only a few of the innovations that were revealed this year.

Immortals of Aveum

A joint venture of Ascendant Studios LLC and Electronic Arts presents one of the most innovative shooters of recent times, Immortals of Aveum. This title promises to deliver a new-age shooter experience mixed with magic and RPG elements.

The game also features the former COD director, Brett Robbins as the development lead who said, “In Call of Duty we’d lift sections from a movie or a TV show, but I didn’t do that for Immortals. We are trying to create something you haven’t seen before.”

Unrecord 

Last but certainly not least, Unrecord by far looks and feels the most like an invitation to a new age. Featuring a never before seen hyper-realistic body cam visuals and camera angles, this game has taken the internet by storm. Ever since its reveal, fans of the genre all over the world looked in awe as the thin veil between video games and reality is ripped to shreds by this title.
