"Streets of Rage 4 Developers Unveil New Game"

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 elements. Set in the enchanting yet ravaged world of Talamh, the game's narrative unfolds in the aftermath of a devastating magical cataclysm. The inhabitants of Talamh live in fear of magic, a fear that the tyrannical King-Sun Azra manipulates to enslave mages through his oppressive Crimson Order. However, hope emerges as a courageous group of heroes rises to challenge his rule. This valiant team includes the necromancer Galandra, the rebellious gnome Karl, the mage Brom, and the enigmatic Sidr.

Players diving into Absolum can anticipate a high-octane experience filled with intense action, featuring upgradable abilities, powerful combos, and an array of magical spells. The game accommodates both solo adventurers and those who prefer cooperative play, allowing players to team up, combine their attacks, and synchronize their strikes to unleash devastating combinations on their foes.

Enhancing the immersive experience, Absolum'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 soundscapes of DOOM Eternal and Atomic Heart.

Mark your calendars for 2025, as Absolum is slated for release on PS4/5, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam. Get ready to embark on an epic journey through the mystical world of Talamh and join the fight against tyranny.
