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 mechanics. Set in the ravaged world of Talamh, which has been shattered by a devastating magical cataclysm, the game's narrative unfolds amidst a society gripped by fear of magic. The tyrannical King-Sun Azra, leveraging these fears, has established the oppressive Crimson Order to enslave mages. In this dark setting, a band of valiant heroes emerges to challenge his rule. This group includes the necromancer Galandra, the fiery rebel gnome Karl, the resourceful mage Brom, and the enigmatic Sidr.

Players diving into **Absolum** can look forward to exhilarating combat, featuring upgradable abilities, potent combos, and a wide array of magical spells. The game supports both solo adventures and cooperative play, encouraging players to team up, combine their attacks, and synchronize their strikes to unleash devastating combinations on their foes.

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

Scheduled for a 2025 release, **Absolum** will be available across multiple platforms, including PS4/5, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam. This cross-platform availability ensures that players on various systems can experience the rich world and intense gameplay of **Absolum**.
