New Game Announced by Streets of Rage 4 Developers

Publisher Dotemu, in collaboration with studios Guard Crush Games and Supamonks, has announced an exciting new title: **Absolum**. This dynamic fantasy beat 'em up incorporates roguelite elements to deliver an exhilarating gaming experience.

Set in the ravaged world of Talamh, which has been scarred by a devastating magical cataclysm, **Absolum** unfolds in a realm where magic is feared and mages are enslaved by the tyrannical King-Sun Azra and his oppressive Crimson Order. The narrative follows a courageous band of heroes who dare to challenge Azra's rule. This diverse group includes the necromancer Galandra, the rebellious gnome Karl, the mage Brom, and the enigmatic Sidr.

Players will dive into intense combat with a range of upgradable abilities, powerful combos, and magical spells at their disposal. **Absolum** offers both single-player and cooperative gameplay modes, encouraging players to combine their attacks and synchronize their strikes to unleash devastating combinations against their foes.

Enhancing the immersive experience, the game's soundtrack is being composed by a trio of legendary artists: 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 soundtracks of *DOOM Eternal* and *Atomic Heart*.

Scheduled for release in 2025, **Absolum** will be available on PS4/5, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam, promising to bring this thrilling adventure to a wide audience of gamers.
