Xbox's Apology to Enotria Changes Devs' Tune, But Release Date Still Unset

Following reported delays in the Xbox certification process, Microsoft has reportedly apologized to Jyamma Games for the setback concerning their debut title, Enotria: The Last Song. This apology comes after the developer publicly voiced frustration over a two-month period of radio silence from Microsoft.

Microsoft's Apology and Jyamma Games' Response

The delay had led Jyamma Games to announce an indefinite postponement of the Xbox release. Jyamma CEO, Jacky Greco, expressed his disappointment on the game's Discord server, highlighting the lack of communication and the financial investment already made in the port.

However, a swift apology from Microsoft, specifically acknowledging Phil Spencer and his team's involvement, changed the situation. Jyamma Games publicly thanked Microsoft and their supportive community on Twitter (X), emphasizing the impact of player advocacy in resolving the issue. The studio is now collaborating with Microsoft to expedite the Xbox release.

Greco further clarified the situation on the game's Discord, confirming Microsoft's apology and their commitment to finding a solution.

Xbox Release Uncertainties and Industry Challenges

While the apology has eased tensions, the Xbox release date remains uncertain. This situation mirrors other recent challenges faced by developers on the Xbox platform. Funcom, for example, recently reported optimization difficulties porting Dune: Awakening to the Xbox Series S. Meanwhile, the PlayStation 5 and PC versions of Enotria: The Last Song are still slated for a September 19th release. For more details on Enotria: The Last Song, refer to the link provided below.
