Summary
Enotria: The Last Songwill be launching onPCandPlayStation 5on September 19, however, its plannedXbox Seriesrelease has been delayed indefinitely,according to a new blog post on Enotria’s official website.
In the wake of that announcement, rampant speculation kicked up regarding a potentialPlayStationexclusivity deal, similar to what has been going on withBlack Myth: Wukong. Its developers, Jyamma Games, however, insist that is not the case.
The delayis reportedly due to a lack of communication at Microsoft’s end. That lack of correspondence is delaying the submission process, which, in turn, has now put the Xbox version of the game on an indefinite delay.
There’s No Exclusivity Deal In Place
Taking to Twitter, the official Enotria accountresponded to several other accounts that were questioning the indefinite delay. Those responses helped provide clarity to the situation, though, it still is unclear what exactlyMicrosoftneeds to do to get the game on its flagship consoles.
“Just to clear things out - we’re not paid by Sony, and we’re not making a deal with PlayStation. We tried to get the game out on Xbox with other platforms as well, and we spent many resources to do so, but we failed due to lack of communication on their side,“one statement from the Enotria account read.
That was later followed up with informationthat “the only thing Sony did was work with us on getting the game ready on their platform.“According to the team, it’s been two months since Microsoft replied to its submission, and that the game is “practically” ready for Series S and X.
And if there were any concerns or speculation that the Series S was the reason for these issues, the devs also cleared that up, too. “It’s not a performance issue, the game works better as expected on Series S, and really good on Series X,“part of a separate reply read.
The official Enotria account finished by putting out a statement, asking the community to let Xbox know about the situation in hopes of a resolution as the team is ready for submission.
At the time of publication, it appears that no one on the Xbox side has responded to these claims. Multiple gamers have gone on to tag the accounts of Phil Spencer and Sarah Bond, among others, however, there has been no official response.
