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

by

We loved Absolum when it came out in 2025, and 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 finishing challenges. It’s not yet known if these will be brand new challenges or if the existing ones will offer the skins as rewards.

Surprisingly, there’s even more good news! Publisher Dotemu has revealed that Absolum has now sold over 500,000 copies.

The book quickly became a bestseller, selling over 200,000 copies in its first week, and has continued to sell well ever since.
