Dotemu, Guard Crush Games, and Supamonks have announced that beat ’em up Absolum surpassed 500,000 copies sold worldwide across Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and PC via Steam. In addition, the new “Threads of Fate” update for Absolum was confirmed to launch on February 12 with new Mystic Ordeals content, corrupted biomes, and improved mounts and customization.
Here’s a rundown of the Absolum Threads of Fate update’s new features, via the game’s latest Steam blog post:
- New Challenges – the new Mystic Ordeals add a little extra challenge for end-game Rebels. Select from pre-made challenges or design your own and share your challenge with the world.
- An Evolving World – with corrupted biomes bringing stronger enemies and enhanced rewards for Rebels who face the challenge
- Upgraded Mounts – bringing new, improved abilities and harder-hitting punishment against the hordes of the Crimson Order
- Enhanced Customization – with new options for skins and emotes for all four of our Rebel heroes.
Moreover, physical editions of Absolum were released at the Silver Lining Direct store. Alongside a Standard Edition, the Special Edition is available featuring four exclusive metal pins, a full-color art booklet, poster-quality artwork, and four character trading cards.
Previously, an Absolum animated series was announced. Staying true to the original game, the Absolum animated series will be overseen by Supermonks, who also handled the entire art direction and animation for the game.
