Xbox Apology Alters Dev Tone, Release Pending

Following reported delays in the Xbox certification process, Microsoft has issued an apology to Jyamma Games, developer of Enotria: The Last Song. This follows concerns raised by the developer about a lack of response from Microsoft for over two months.

Microsoft Apology Leads to Renewed Hope for Enotria's Xbox Launch

Jyamma Games, initially frustrated by the prolonged delay, publicly voiced their concerns. CEO Jacky Greco expressed disappointment on Discord, stating the lack of communication from Microsoft was impacting the game's Xbox release.

However, a swift apology from Microsoft, reportedly involving direct intervention from Phil Spencer, has significantly altered the situation. Jyamma Games publicly thanked Microsoft and their community for their support on Twitter (X), expressing gratitude for the prompt response and assistance in resolving the issue. The studio confirmed they are now actively collaborating with Microsoft to expedite the Xbox release.

Greco further elaborated on the Discord server, confirming Microsoft's apology and their commitment to a quick resolution. While the Xbox release date remains uncertain, the positive turn of events offers renewed hope for players anticipating the game's arrival on the platform.

The challenges faced by Jyamma Games highlight recent difficulties some developers are experiencing with Xbox releases. Funcom, for example, recently reported optimization challenges porting Dune: Awakening to the Xbox Series S.

Despite the ongoing Xbox release uncertainty, Enotria: The Last Song is still slated for a September 19th launch on PS5 and PC. For more details on Enotria: The Last Song, please see the link below.
