Taking to the company’s official Discord server, Jyamma CEO Giacomo “Jacky” Greco elaborated on the postponement by flat-out saying that Microsoft “decided to ignore” the developer. This turn of events is not the first occasion on which Jyamma changed its plans for theEnotria: The Last SongXbox port, which has already been “suspended” back in March 2024, when the developer said the soulslike would hit the Xbox Series X/S following its PC and PlayStation launch. However, it later opted to do a simultaneous release on all three platforms after all, before announcing this indefinite delay of the game’s Xbox version.
Despite our best efforts and the hard work of our dedicated team, we’ve encountered challenges that have delayed our release on the Xbox platform.
The September 19 launch ofEnotria: The Last Songwill be digital-only. Jyamma previously confirmed that the PS5 version of the soulslike will receive a physical release “a few months later.” On the subject of its Xbox postponement, the company said that this decision was not made lightly, but was ultimately out of its hands. This development does not change the studio’s ambition to bring the game to “as many players as possible,” a Jyamma official said. The delay itself was announced shortly afterEnotria: The Last Songreceived a flashy two-minute trailerduring Gamescom 2024.
