Summary
Enotria: The Last Song, a Soulslike that initially released as a digital title at the tail end of 2024, is getting a physical release this spring. The rollout ofEnotria: The Last Songwas surrounded by controversy due to a problem developer Jayamma Games was having getting the game approved and certified for release on Xbox Series X and S. This all led toEnotria’s Xbox release getting delayed by three months to December, while the game launched on time for PS5 and PC in September.
One of many AA Soulslike games that were released in 2024,Enotria: The Last Songreceived generally mixed reviewsfrom critics. The game was largely praised for its setting and incorporation of Italian folklore, but many felt the game’s combat and exploration left much to be desired. Paired with how busy the game release calendar was whenEnotriacame out in September, it’s fair to say the game flew a bit under the radar. The three-month Xbox delay didn’t help either, asEnotriacame to the platform just two days after the critically acclaimedIndiana Jones and the Great Circlemade its big splash on Game Pass.
Five months since its initial launch,Enotria: The Last Songhas announced dates for its imminent physical release. On social media,Enotriarevealed that itsPlayStation 5 and Xbox Series Xand S physical editions will release on March 21 in Asia, and April 10 globally. Interestingly,Enotria’s Deluxe Edition will also be available physically for PlayStation 5 users, while Xbox is only getting the standard version of the game.

Titles likeAlan Wake 2,Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster,and therecentNinja Gaiden 2 Blackremasterhad all foregone physical versions at launch just to have physical releases several months later. It’s difficult to tell whether Jayamma Games always had a physical release forEnotriaplanned, or whether this move was in response to gamers who’ve been requesting one.
Souls fans who’ve been holding out for the physical release ofEnotria: The Last Songonly have about two months left to wait. As forEnotriaitself, one gamer commented underEnotria’s Twitter post asking about whether aPlayStation 5 Pro enhancementis in the works, to which Jayamma responded with “Not at the moment.” Perhaps Jayamma may have more to share about a potentialEnotriaPS5 Pro enhancement closer to the game’s physical release.
