Absolum Will Arrive Later This Year
Dotemu, the developers behind Streets of Rage 4 & TMNT: Shredders Revenge, have announced ‘Absolum‘, a brand new beat ’em up action RPG title.
Absolum will be a fantasy beat ’em up tale that will tune into the spirit of classic titles such as Golden Axe and Dungeons & Dragons: Chronicles of Mystara. It will have branching pathways for players to explore, quests to discover, and intriguing characters to encounter.
Players will fight as one of four rebels. Each will have their own skill set and unique abilities. All four will also have their own motivations for navigating through the fantasy world of Talamh, a world filled with various wonders and horrors.
“Absolum is Dotemu’s boldest creation yet, standing as our first original IP and a crucial new venture for the future of Dotemu,” said Cyrille Imbert, CEO of Dotemu.
“Absolum builds on knowledge gained from our previous beat ‘em up collaboration with Guard Crush Games and our publishing work on Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge, as well as a lifelong passion we share with Guard Crush Games for classic and modern beat ’em up titles. Our ultimate goal is to fundamentally evolve the genre’s potential in a way that’s unique from the traditional brawlers we’ve all come to love, and I knew the team was well suited to accomplish this from the first time I played Absolum.”
Absolum will launch later in 2025 across PC, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4.
