Absolum Gets Gameplay Trailer

DotEmu released a new trailer for beat-’em-up action RPG Absolum. The four-minute gameplay trailer shows the game’s combat, including local and online co-op, as well as its progression system. When players fall in battle, they are taken to the sanctuary where they interact with various NPCs to unlock attribute boosts, new abilities, and more. In addition to controlling one of four characters, players can recruit mercenaries to assist them, as well as obtain mounts to give them additional abilities.

Absolum will release on October 9, 2025, for PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and Nintendo Switch. Developed by Streets of Rage 4 developers DotEmu and Guard Crush Games, as well as Supamonks, the game sees players fighting as one of four rebels in the fantasy world of Talamh, which was shattered after wizards caused a magical cataclysm. With magic untrusted by the common people, Sun King Azra took advantage, enslaving wizards and putting loyal subordinates in charge of his conquered realms. Players join the rebels, under the mentorship of Uchawi and the Root Sisters, who utilise a forbidden magic, and seek to topple Azra’s grip on power.
