New Game Announced by Streets of Rage 4 Developers

Publisher Dotemu, in collaboration with studios Guard Crush Games and Supamonks, has proudly announced the upcoming release of Absolum—a thrilling fantasy beat 'em up infused with roguelite mechanics. Set to captivate gamers in 2025, Absolum will be available on PS4/5, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam.

The game's narrative unfolds in the shattered realm of Talamh, a land ravaged by a magical cataclysm. In this world, where magic is both revered and feared, the tyrannical King-Sun Azra uses his Crimson Order to subjugate mages, leveraging the populace's dread of sorcery to maintain his iron grip. However, hope emerges through a valiant group of heroes: the necromancer Galandra, the rebellious gnome Karl, the powerful mage Brom, and the enigmatic Sidr. Together, they embark on a quest to overthrow Azra's oppressive regime.

Absolum promises an exhilarating gameplay experience, featuring intense action with upgradable abilities, potent combos, and mesmerizing magical spells. Whether you're playing solo or teaming up in cooperative mode, players can strategize and execute synchronized attacks to unleash devastating combinations against their foes.

Enhancing the immersive atmosphere, the game's soundtrack is being meticulously crafted by a trio of legendary composers: Gareth Coker, famed for his work on Ori and Halo Infinite; Yuka Kitamura, who contributed to the haunting scores of Dark Souls and Elden Ring; and Mick Gordon, renowned for his dynamic compositions in DOOM Eternal and Atomic Heart. Their combined talents promise to deliver an auditory experience that complements the game's thrilling gameplay.
