Physical Release Announced for 2024 Soulslike Game

Enotria: The Last Song, a game that draws heavily from Italian folklore, debuted digitally at the end of 2024, and now it’s stepping into the realm of physical copies. Set to hit shelves this spring, the game’s release schedule shows it launching in Asia on March 21, with a global release following on April 10. This journey to a physical edition echoes the path taken by other games, such as Alan Wake 2 and the Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster.

Jayamma Games, the developer behind Enotria, has confirmed there’s currently no support for PlayStation 5 Pro enhancements. Fans might recall the initial release was not without its hurdles—specifically delays in getting the green light for Xbox Series X and S versions. This bumped the Xbox release from its original date to December, whereas it made its timely debut on PS5 and PC back in September.

The game belongs to a wave of AA Soulslike titles that were plentiful in 2024. Critics gave Enotria a mixed reception, praising its captivating setting inspired by Italian tales while finding its combat and exploration elements somewhat lacking. Unfortunately, it struggled to capture major attention amidst an already packed release calendar that year. The delayed Xbox launch didn’t help matters, especially launching just a couple of days after the well-received Indiana Jones and the Great Circle joined Game Pass.

Fast forward five months, and Enotria: The Last Song has marked its calendar for the physical release of its PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X and S editions. Interestingly, gamers in Asia can grab their copies on March 21, while a broader audience will see it hit the stores on April 10. Notably, a Deluxe Edition is available for PS5 owners, whereas Xbox players will only have the standard edition.

In light of the declining physical media market, it’s not uncommon now to see games like Alan Wake 2 or the reimagined Ninja Gaiden 2 Black hold off on physical releases until well post-launch. Whether Jayamma Games had always planned a physical edition or this decision was driven by fan demand remains uncertain.

For those holding out for a physical copy of Enotria: The Last Song, the wait is almost over. Meanwhile, a curious fan inquired on Twitter about potential enhancements for the PS5 Pro. Jayamma Games responded straightforwardly, stating there are no plans at this time. However, things could always change, so it’s worth keeping an eye out for updates as the release approaches.

Enotria: The Last Song is an action-packed RPG that innovatively morphs the Soulslike genre with a vibrant backdrop reminiscent of an Italian summer. It encourages players to manipulate the environment and adversaries in imaginative ways, offering a fresh take on familiar mechanics. This unique approach aims to celebrate Italy’s rich culture, appealing to both fans of the genre and newcomers alike.
