New Game Announced by Streets of Rage 4 Developers

Publisher Dotemu, in collaboration with Guard Crush Games and Supamonks, has excitingly announced the upcoming release of **Absolum**—a thrilling fantasy beat 'em up infused with roguelite mechanics. Set against the backdrop of Talamh, a world shattered by a magical cataclysm, the narrative delves into a society where magic is feared and mages are oppressed. The tyrannical King-Sun Azra leverages these fears through his oppressive Crimson Order to enslave the magic-wielders. However, a band of courageous heroes emerges to challenge his reign. This group includes the necromancer Galandra, the rebellious gnome Karl, the mage Brom, and the enigmatic Sidr.

Players are in for an exhilarating experience with **Absolum**, featuring intense combat, upgradable abilities, potent combos, and enchanting spells. Whether you choose to embark on this adventure solo or team up with friends in cooperative mode, the game allows for strategic attack combinations and synchronized strikes that can unleash devastating effects on foes.

The auditory experience of **Absolum** is set to be equally captivating, with a soundtrack composed by a trio of legendary figures in the gaming industry: Gareth Coker, renowned for his work on *Ori* and *Halo Infinite*; Yuka Kitamura, who has contributed to *Dark Souls* and *Elden Ring*; and Mick Gordon, celebrated for his compositions in *DOOM Eternal* and *Atomic Heart*.

Mark your calendars for 2025, as **Absolum** is slated to launch on PS4/5, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam, promising an unforgettable journey through the ravaged yet enchanting world of Talamh.
