Gaining popularity recently with showcases at the recentSummer Games Festand Gamescom 2024,Enotria: The Last Songis a soul-like game that has impressed gamers with its smooth combat and Italian-focused atmosphere.
Sadly, the developers recentlyannounced on TwitterthatEnotriais no longer planned to be released on both the Xbox Series X and Series S consoles, leading to extensive debates and speculation about why they would decide to do this.
Four Mechanics To Look Forward To In Enotria: The Last Song
Enotria: The Last Song adapts and builds on many Soulslike mechanics, here are some of the best we found in the demo.
Some question whether the souls-like has gotten an exclusive deal with PlayStation, while others challenge whether it’s due to hardware limitations.Yet, theserumors have been shot down, making this an odd situation with very little information.
According to the Twitter announcement,they have yet to correspond with Microsoft as the release date approaches. While they have put time and money into an Xbox release, Microsoft hasn’t attempted to add it to their store. A quote from their Twitter statement reads:
This task is nearly impossible with Microsoft taking months to reply to us when we have the game ready for submission.
This is frankly quite strange and not something we’ve seen much online. For instance, Xbox addedLies Of Pto their consoles last year, another soul-like title from a smaller developer.
Some users have stated that the creators planned to release the game on Xbox after the PS5 and PC editions are fully out or havemade this exact announcementin the past.
However, the developers responded that they had gone through separate attempts to get the title on Xbox since then.
Debunking The Rumors
Many of the fan rumors regarding the current state of Xbox have already been debunked. On the one hand, games likeBaldur’s Gate,Control, and even the recentDune Awakeninghave had development problems due to theless powerful hardwareof the Xbox Series S.

Dune Awakening has now been added to the list of games that prove how underpowered the Xbox Series S is to it’s older brother.
On the other hand, some point fingers at an exclusivity deal with PlayStation, which has alsobeen debunked.The developers maintainthat this is just an issue with communication between themselves and Xbox publishing.
Funny enough,despite the latest announcement, the main page onEnotria’s websitestill states that the game is “coming to PC via Steam & Epic Games Store, PS5 and Xbox Series X|S.”
We advise everyone not to expectEnotria: The Last Songto be released on the Xbox Series consoles at this time.
Nevertheless, considering the developers are still pushing for it, there’s still slight potential for an Xbox release far in the futuredespite the indefinite delay.
