Recently, Enotria: The Last Song announced a new release date to avoid the Elden Ring DLC. They don’t seem to fear another Soulslike in the process.
What game are we talking about? Enotria: The Last Song is a new Soulslike that will be released on PS5 and Steam. A later release on Xbox is also planned.
- Enotria features a more colorful setting with Italian folklore and sunny areas.
- The world is trapped in an “eternal game” and thus in eternal stagnation, with everyone having their prescribed role.
- As the “Maskless,” you collect masks to gain various abilities that help you in the fight against the so-called game makers.
Originally, the game was supposed to be released in June. However, the release has now been postponed for two months to August 21, 2024. It’s still unclear when the game will follow on Xbox. After all, only 60 people are currently working on it, according to the CEO.
A new gameplay trailer now again confirms the postponed release:
Why was the release postponed? The developers of Enotria decided to postpone the release by two months because the Elden Ring DLC Shadow of the Erdtree is set to release on June 21, 2024. Indie developer Jyamma Games felt that the Soulslike might not have many chances to stand out against it.
However, they are not the only ones who have postponed their release a bit because of the upcoming DLC. Final Fantasy XIV Dawntrail is also making players wait a little longer for that reason.
The additional two months are now to be well utilized by the developers to continue improving the quality of the game, according to CEO Giacomo Greco. The team thus has a bit more time to raise the bar.
Who is the new competition? Whether August 21 is indeed the better choice remains questionable. Because even though they have clearly avoided Elden Ring, another competitor is right at the door.
Exactly one day earlier, Black Myth: Wukong will be released. And this action RPG is definitely among the most eagerly anticipated Soulslike games of the year.
Whether Enotria has stepped from the rain into the flood remains to be seen in August. If Black Myth: Wukong receives poor reviews after its release, this could be very beneficial for Enotria.
Perhaps the developers are simply trusting that genre fans are so excited about both games that they won’t decide but will buy both.
