The Developers of Streets of Rage 4 Have Announced Their New Game
Dotemu, in collaboration with Guard Crush Games and Supamonks, proudly presents Absolum, a thrilling fantasy beat 'em up infused with roguelite elements. Set in the ravaged world of Talamh, where a magical cataclysm has instilled a deep-seated fear of magic in its inhabitants, the story unfolds. King-Sun Azra, the ruthless ruler, capitalizes on this fear, enslaving mages through his oppressive Crimson Order. A band of courageous heroes—the necromancer Galandra, the rebellious gnome Karl, the mage Brom, and the enigmatic Sidr—dare to defy him.
Prepare for intense action-packed combat featuring upgradeable abilities, devastating combos, and potent magical spells. Absolum offers both exhilarating single-player and cooperative gameplay modes, allowing players to synergize their attacks and unleash devastating coordinated strikes.
The game's soundtrack promises an epic experience, composed by a trio of legendary musicians: Gareth Coker (renowned for his work on Ori and Halo Infinite), Yuka Kitamura (whose credits include Dark Souls and Elden Ring), and Mick Gordon (the mastermind behind the soundtracks of DOOM Eternal and Atomic Heart).
Absolum is slated for release in 2025 on PS4/5, Nintendo Switch, and PC (Steam).
