Dotemu, Crush Guard Games, and Supamonks have at the moment announced that massive issues are coming to their fantasy ‘rouge ’em up’, Absolum, next yr, beginning with the recreation’s first main replace.
The ver. 1.1 replace, ‘The Threads of Fate’, will launch at some level in “Early 2026” (the studios have not been more exact than that at the second), and will convey a healthy dose of new content material alongside the traditional tweaks and bug fixes.
First up is a batch of new ‘Mystic Ordeal’ challenges, which will let you add difficult quirks to your runs to put your abilities to the take a look at — you’ll even be in a position to set your own guidelines and share them with others via a code. Select phases of your journey across Talamh will also become corrupted, with stronger enemies therein granting greater rewards. Don’t fear if you’re discovering the base recreation difficult enough; both of these will be utterly elective.
The devs are also introducing newly advanced mounts that pack more of a punch, and a batch of recent in-game skins and emotes, so you can get your occasion trying as sharp as they deserve.
The devs shared a full rundown of the upcoming adjustments in a weblog post on Steam, concluding by thanking everyone who has performed so far: “We wanted to take a moment, once again, to thank you for joining our rebellion, and lending your skills, passion and personality to our resistance movement.”
We had a great time with Absolum on Switch earlier this yr, calling it “one of the best of its kind, whatever that kind may be” in our 9/10 review. Let’s hope we do not have to wait too long in 2026 to see its updates come our manner.
