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.
