Xbox's Apology to Enotria Changes Devs' Tune, But Release Date Still Unset

Following a reported apology from Microsoft, Jyamma Games has expressed optimism regarding the Xbox release of its debut title, Enotria: The Last Song, although a firm release date remains elusive.

Microsoft's Apology Resolves Enotria Xbox Release Delays

Jyamma Games Thanks Phil Spencer and the Community

Jyamma Games publicly thanked Microsoft, specifically Phil Spencer and his team, for their swift response and assistance in resolving the certification issues that had delayed the Xbox release of Enotria. The developer had previously voiced frustration on Discord after a two-month silence from Microsoft, stating that the delay, which resulted in an indefinite postponement, was causing significant financial strain.

The developer's initial comments on Discord expressed considerable disappointment: "You can ask Xbox why they haven't answered us for two months," Jyamma CEO Jacky Greco wrote. "Obviously they don't care about Enotria and they don't care about you... We've Xbox Series X/S version ready, but we can't proceed with submission and release, I spent a lot of money for porting and they decided to ignore us."

However, Microsoft's apology and subsequent intervention have changed the situation. On X (formerly Twitter), Jyamma Games stated, "We would like to officially thank Phil Spencer and his team for reaching out to us so promptly and helping to resolve our situation." They also acknowledged the strong support from their community, highlighting the impact of player advocacy.

"We are now working closely with Microsoft," Jyamma Games confirmed, "and we hope this collaboration will lead to the game's release for Xbox as soon as possible."

Greco further elaborated on the Discord server, confirming Microsoft's apology and their commitment to resolving the issues quickly.

Challenges with Xbox releases are not unique to Jyamma Games. Funcom recently reported optimization difficulties porting Dune: Awakening to the Xbox Series S.

While the PS5 and PC versions of Enotria: The Last Song are still scheduled for September 19th, the Xbox release date remains uncertain. For more details on Enotria: The Last Song, please see the link below.
