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. In response, a courageous band of heroes emerges to challenge his rule. This group includes the necromancer Galandra, the defiant gnome Karl, the mage Brom, and the enigmatic Sidr.

Players diving into Absolum can anticipate a high-octane experience, featuring upgradable abilities, potent combos, and enchanting magical spells. The game accommodates both solo adventurers and cooperative play, allowing players to merge their attacks and synchronize their strikes for devastating effects.

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 to launch on PS4/5, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam, promising an unforgettable journey through the mystical realms of Talamh.
