Looks like Enotria: The Last Song will be coming to Xbox soon after all. After announcing an indefinite delay, the developers have announced they’ve gotten what they need to bring the game to Xbox “ASAP.”

Jyamma Games took to the internet on Monday to announce it had delayed the Xbox version of its game indefinitely because of a lack of communication with Microsoft for two months. “This task is nearly impossible with Microsoft taking months to reply to us when we have the game ready for submission,” a post on the studio’s X (formerly Twitter) account read. However, it iterated that it was still open to reversing that decision if it could get in touch with Xbox.

Thankfully, that seems to have happened. An X post from Wednesday states that the team is now in contact with Xbox thanks to head of Microsoft Gaming Phil Spencer and the community.

“We would like to officially thank Phil Spencer and his team for reaching out to us so promptly and helping to resolve our situation,” the post read. “We are now working closely with Microsoft, and we hope this collaboration will lead to the game’s release for Xbox as soon as possible.”

Jyamma CEO Giacomo “Jacky” Greco added on the game’s official Discord ahead of the X announcement that Xbox had contacted them to say “sorry about the situation.”

Community manager “Creatura” also clarified on the Discord that it’ll be difficult for Jyamma to meet the September 19 deadline for the Xbox version, but it’s not impossible. “We still lost some time trying to communicate with Xbox, so it will be hard to meet that deadline, but as soon as there’s a set-in-stone date ahead, we’ll make an announcement,” Creatura wrote.

Enotria is a Soulslike inspired by Italian mythology where players don “role-altering masks.” It’s coming to PlayStation 5 and PC on September 19.

PlayStation discs are dying in 2028, and fan backlash isn’t changing Sony’s mind

Sony is pushing PlayStation toward an all-digital future, protests be damned

Book, Publication, Adult

Sony just hit the final nail in the coffin for physical game discs for PlayStation. Despite the month-long backlash from its fans, the company has confirmed that it is still going ahead with its controversial decision. Sony CFO Lin Tao addressed the criticism during the company’s latest earnings briefing, confirming that Sony plans to proceed with its decision to end physical disc production for new PlayStation releases beginning in January 2028.

Tao acknowledged that players have strong opinions about physical media, while saying Sony spent considerable time evaluating the decision before reaching its conclusion. But at the end of the day, the message was still the same.

GTA 6 owns November, unless the Ocarina of Time Remake has something to say about it

If any game can launch alongside GTA 6, it’s Ocarina of Time Remake

When a major studio or publisher drops a legacy AAA title, other studios generally avoid releasing around the same timeline to avoid having their sales eaten by the more popular game. So when Grand Theft Auto 6 finally got its release date, it was clear no one would be shipping their game during the same month.

But another game maker might be challenging it with a goliath of its own. A new discovery on Nintendo’s UK store has sparked speculation that The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Remake could launch on November 12, just seven days before GTA 6 arrives on November 19.
