"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 game infused with roguelite elements. Set in the enchanting yet ravaged world of Talamh, the game's narrative unfolds in the aftermath of a magical cataclysm that left the land in ruins. The inhabitants of Talamh live in fear of magic, a fear that the tyrannical King-Sun Azra exploits to oppress and enslave mages through his sinister Crimson Order.

A courageous band of heroes emerges to challenge Azra's rule. This valiant group includes the necromancer Galandra, the spirited rebel gnome Karl, the skilled mage Brom, and the enigmatic Sidr. Players will dive into an action-packed experience, where they can enhance their characters' abilities, unleash powerful combos, and cast magical spells to overcome their foes.

**Absolum** offers both single-player and cooperative gameplay modes, allowing players to team up, combine their attacks, and synchronize their strikes to execute devastating combinations against their enemies.

The game's immersive atmosphere is further enhanced by its soundtrack, composed by an ensemble of legendary musicians: 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 for *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. Get ready to embark on an epic journey in the world of Talamh and join the fight against tyranny.
