Awesome Beat-‘Em-Up Absolum Slaps February Release Date on Huge PS5 Patch

by

We loved Absolum when it came out in 2025, so we’re excited to hear that this fantastic, but often missed, fighting game is getting a major update soon.

The February 12th update, called ‘Threads of Fate’, will include a lot of new content and improvements.

Here’s a quick summary of the update’s highlights from the official press release:

  • An all-new game mode, “Mystic Ordeal,” which utilizes dozens of modifiers to deliver a steep challenge with surprises and scenarios that boldly contrast from the core adventure.
  • Deadly new post-game dangers — and rewards — in the optional Corrupted Regions you’ll discover while traversing Absolum’s incredible world.
  • Exciting new rewards, mount types, and more alongside a trove of improvements.

The game will also have new character skins available to earn by completing in-game challenges. It’s not yet known if these challenges will be new or if players can unlock the skins through challenges that are already available.

Surprisingly, there’s even more good news! Publisher Dotemu has revealed that Absolum has now sold over half a million copies.

Wow, this album absolutely flew off the shelves! It sold over 200,000 copies in its first week, and it’s been doing incredibly well ever since. As a fan, I’m so happy to see it continuing to do so well!

I’m so excited to see if we’ll be heading back to Absolum with this new update! I can’t wait to dive in and see what destiny has in store for my character – I’ll definitely be checking the comments to see what everyone else thinks and share my own thoughts too!
