Enotria: The Last Song Delayed on Xbox
Enotria: The Last Song, the “summer Soulslike” from Italian indie developer Jyamma Games, has faced another setback as it has been delayed indefinitely on Xbox, just weeks before its planned 19th September release. The studio has cited Microsoft’s lack of response and challenges in the certification process as the reasons behind the delay.
Erratic Relationship with Xbox
Enotria, a third-person action-adventure game set in a sun-lit world inspired by Italian folklore, has had an inconsistent relationship with Microsoft’s platform. Initially, Jyamma announced that Enotria would not launch on Xbox at the same time as other platforms to focus on creating a superior experience for PC and PS5 players. However, a few months later, the game’s release date was revised to September with an Xbox version back in consideration. Now, the studio has decided to delay Enotria: The Last Song indefinitely on Xbox due to unspecified challenges.
Communication Issues with Xbox
As reported by Windows Central, Jyamma CEO Jacky Greco expressed frustration over the lack of communication from Xbox regarding the submission and release of Enotria. Greco mentioned that despite having the Xbox Series X/S version ready, they have been unable to proceed with the process as Microsoft has ignored their attempts. Communication with Xbox has been a major hurdle, with delays in responses causing further setbacks for the game’s release on the platform.
Efforts to Resolve the Issue
Despite efforts to reach out to Microsoft for clarification and resolution, Jyamma has been met with silence, hindering their ability to move forward with the Xbox release. The studio reiterated its desire to launch the game on Xbox as soon as possible but highlighted the challenges posed by the lack of communication from Microsoft’s end.
Conclusion
In conclusion, the delay of Enotria: The Last Song on Xbox showcases the challenges indie developers face when dealing with platform certification and communication issues. While the game will still be available on PlayStation 5 and PC upon its release on 19th September, the absence of an Xbox version highlights the importance of transparent and timely communication between developers and platform holders.
