Fans of gritty fantasy, roguelite replayability, and high-octane beat ’em up action—get ready to join the rebellion. Indie developer Silver Lining Interactive, alongside genre giants Dotemu, Guard Crush Games (Streets of Rage 4), and art maestros Supamonks, has officially unveiled the physical editions of Absolum for PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch—and they’re absolutely packed.
Launching later this year alongside the digital release on PC, PS4, PS5, and Switch, Absolum fuses side-scrolling combat with the strategic depth of roguelite mechanics, all set in a richly animated fantasy world brimming with rebellion, magic, and betrayal.
Whether you’re a hardcore player, a collector, or both, pre-orders for the Absolum Signature and Standard Editions are now open—and they’re expected to sell out fast.
🥊 What Is Absolum?
Set in the shattered world of Talamh, Absolum tells the story of four outcast heroes rising up against the tyrannical Sun King Azra and his brutal Crimson Order. Blending old-school beat ’em up gameplay with roguelite structure, the game features procedurally evolving levels, permadeath progression, branching routes, and explosive character-driven combat.
You’ll fight solo or team up in couch co-op or online multiplayer, leveling up skills, unlocking gear, and mastering devastating combos and counters to push back against the darkness.
🌟 Signature Edition – A Must-Have for Collectors
The Absolum Signature Edition is the crown jewel for fans looking to own a piece of gaming artistry. Packed in a gorgeously designed collector’s box, this limited-run edition includes:
- 🎖️ 4 Exclusive Metal Pins – Showcasing Absolum’s iconic characters
- 🎨 Full-Color Art Booklet – Featuring behind-the-scenes concept art and designs
- 🖼️ Poster-Quality Artwork – A high-resolution print worthy of your wall
- 🃏 4 Character Trading Cards – Highlighting the playable rebels of Talamh
- 🎵 Digital Soundtrack – Let the pulse-pounding score carry you beyond the battlefield
If you’re more gameplay-focused, the Standard Edition still delivers the full experience—plus the digital soundtrack to keep you immersed in the game’s world long after the credits roll.
Pre-orders for both editions are live now via Silver Lining Direct.
💥 Meet the Heroes of the Uprising
Every hero in Absolum brings a unique playstyle and narrative arc:
- Galandra – A brooding necromancer-warrior with unmatched melee might
- Karl – The last free dwarf, armed with explosive fists and an earth-shaking blunderbuss
- Brome – A young, idealistic wizard destined to rewrite history
- Cider – A ghostly assassin piecing together the mystery of their past
Master each fighter’s arsenal of magic, melee, and relics to carve your path through randomized dungeons and confront the horrors of Azra’s empire.
🎮 Why Absolum Stands Out
Absolum is not just another action game—it’s a “rogue-’em-up” redefined, built by the dream team behind Streets of Rage 4 and elevated by Supamonks’ cinematic animation style.
- ⚔️ Fluid Beat ’Em Up Combat – Chain melee and magic in visually spectacular battles
- 🌀 Replayability With Purpose – Each run reshapes the world and reveals new secrets
- 🎵 A World-Class Soundtrack – Featuring original music by Gareth Coker, with powerhouse collaborations from Yuka Kitamura (Dark Souls, Elden Ring) and Mick Gordon (DOOM Eternal, Atomic Heart)
- 👫 Co-Op Combat – Play solo or team up with a friend in seamless co-op action
With handcrafted environments—from the shadowed mines of Grandery to the mystical forests of Jaroba—and a sweeping story of rebellion, Absolum is shaping up to be one of 2025’s most ambitious indie action titles.
🛒 Pre-Order Now – Physical Release Coming in 2025
The physical editions of Absolum for PS5 and Nintendo Switch launch later in 2025, alongside digital versions for PC, PS4, PS5, and Switch. Quantities are limited—especially for the Signature Edition—so don’t wait.
🔥 Join the Resistance
Talamh needs heroes. Whether you’re striking out solo or linking blades with friends, Absolum is your ticket to a rebellion forged in magic, steel, and soul. Own the revolution—physically.
