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 mechanics. Set in the ravaged world of Talamh, the narrative unfolds after a catastrophic magical event that has left its mark on the land. The citizens of Talamh, gripped by a deep-seated fear of magic, are manipulated by their tyrannical ruler, King-Sun Azra. Azra, with the aid of his oppressive Crimson Order, enslaves the mages to maintain his iron grip on power. However, hope emerges through a valiant group of heroes: the necromancer Galandra, the rebellious gnome Karl, the mage Brom, and the enigmatic Sidr, who band together to challenge Azra's reign.

Players diving into Absolum will encounter adrenaline-pumping combat featuring upgradable abilities, potent combos, and enchanting spells. The game accommodates both solo adventurers and those looking to team up in cooperative mode, allowing players to merge their attacks and coordinate their strikes for formidable combinations that can turn the tide of battle.

The auditory experience of Absolum is set to be equally captivating, with its soundtrack being composed by an illustrious trio of music maestros: Gareth Coker, renowned for his work on Ori and Halo Infinite; Yuka Kitamura, acclaimed for her contributions to Dark Souls and Elden Ring; and Mick Gordon, the genius behind the soundscapes of DOOM Eternal and Atomic Heart.

Absolum is slated for a 2025 release and will be available across multiple platforms, including PS4/5, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam. Get ready to embark on an epic journey filled with action, strategy, and magic in this eagerly anticipated title.
