After the controversy over the absence of Absolum on Xbox, developer Dotemu has released an official statement through Windows Central, suggesting that the situation could change soon. The message comes after several comments from the community team on Discord, which had generated confusion among the studio’s followers and Xbox players.

In their statement, Dotemu explained that the initial response from the community manager was “given in good faith, but without contextualizing the company’s overall strategy“. Additionally, the studio wanted to make it clear that they maintain a positive and stable relationship with Xbox, recalling that they have released several titles on the platform, including Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound, which debuted this summer.

Dotemu keeps the door open to Xbox

“While we can’t share any plans for now, Xbox fans should stay tuned for upcoming announcements”, the statement concludes, hinting that a version of Absolum for Xbox consoles could be in development.

For now, the game has only been confirmed for PC and PlayStation, although the tone of Dotemu’s message suggests that exclusivity would be temporary. Given the studio’s history (responsible for titles like Streets of Rage 4 and TMNT: Shredder’s Revenge), it wouldn’t be surprising if Absolum eventually joins the Xbox Series catalog as well.
