New Game Announced by Streets of Rage 4 Developers

Publisher Dotemu, in collaboration with studios Guard Crush Games and Supamonks, has announced the upcoming release of Absolum—a thrilling fantasy beat 'em up infused with roguelite elements. Set in the enchanting yet ravaged world of Talamh, the game's narrative unfolds in the aftermath of a devastating magical cataclysm. The inhabitants of Talamh live in fear of magic, a fear that the tyrannical King-Sun Azra manipulates to enslave mages through his oppressive Crimson Order. In response, a courageous band of heroes emerges to challenge his rule. This valiant group includes the necromancer Galandra, the rebellious gnome Karl, the mage Brom, and the enigmatic Sidr.

Players diving into Absolum can anticipate a high-octane experience filled with intense action. The game offers upgradable abilities, powerful combos, and an array of magical spells to master. Whether you choose to embark on this adventure solo or team up with friends in cooperative mode, you'll have the opportunity to combine attacks and synchronize strikes, unleashing devastating combinations against your foes.

Enhancing the immersive experience, Absolum's soundtrack is being composed by a trio of legendary talents: Gareth Coker, renowned for his work on Ori and Halo Infinite; Yuka Kitamura, celebrated for her contributions to Dark Souls and Elden Ring; and Mick Gordon, the mastermind behind the soundscapes of DOOM Eternal and Atomic Heart.

Absolum is slated for release in 2025, and will be available on PS4/5, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam. Get ready to join the fight against tyranny and explore the magical depths of Talamh.
