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 elements. This game promises to deliver an exhilarating experience set in the enchanting world of Talamh, a realm shattered by a devastating magical cataclysm.
In the aftermath of this cataclysm, the inhabitants of Talamh have developed a deep-seated fear of magic. This fear is exploited by the tyrannical King-Sun Azra, who leads the oppressive Crimson Order. Azra uses this fear to enslave mages, tightening his grip on the realm. However, a valiant group of heroes emerges to challenge his rule. This intrepid team includes the necromancer Galandra, the rebellious gnome Karl, the skilled mage Brom, and the enigmatic Sidr. Together, they embark on a daring quest to overthrow Azra and restore freedom to Talamh.
Players can look forward to a gameplay experience filled with intense action, featuring upgradable abilities, powerful combos, and a variety of magical spells. Absolum supports both single-player and cooperative modes, allowing players to team up and execute synchronized attacks that can lead to devastating combinations against their foes.
Enhancing the immersive experience of Absolum is its remarkable soundtrack, crafted by a trio of legendary composers: Gareth Coker, celebrated for his work on Ori and Halo Infinite; Yuka Kitamura, known for her contributions to Dark Souls and Elden Ring; and Mick Gordon, the acclaimed composer behind DOOM Eternal and Atomic Heart. Their combined talents promise to deliver a sonic backdrop that perfectly complements the game's dynamic action.
Absolum is slated for release in 2025, and it will be available on multiple platforms including PS4/5, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam. Get ready to dive into this captivating world and join the fight against tyranny!
