“Why not just release it in March then?”: Enotria: The Last Song Is Committing a Cyberpunk 2077 Level Disaster, With a Plan

SUMMARY

• Cyberpunk 2077 could be overthrown as the worst video game launch by Enotria: The Last Song.
• Jyamma Games is releasing Enotria: The Last Song incompletely as the studio plans to release updates for polishing and quality-of-life improvements.
• Enotria: The Last Song will be released later this month on the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC.

Enotria: The Last Song is an upcoming game developed by Jyamma Games for the PlayStation 5 and PC platforms. The Soulslike title will also be heading to the current lineup of Xbox consoles at a much later date and the recent announcements could benefit those on the Microsoft brand. The game developers revealed the Improvements Roadmap that will span throughout the following year featuring updates and qualities that should have been available at launch day.

The recent reveal raised a few eyebrows within the gaming community; many suggest the game should be released in a polished state. These updates are all great; however, it would be better if these features were already fixed and fine-tuned before the official release date, and this could lead to the game’s untimely downfall and suffer the same fate as one other highly anticipated game.

The Game Developers of Enotria: The Last Song Could Be Digging Their Grave

Enotria: The Last Song will be released on September 19, 2024, for the PlayStation 5 and PC platforms; however, the Day One version is not what the game developers envisioned for the gaming community to experience firsthand. Xbox Series X and S users could greatly benefit from the delay and credit it to Microsoft’s poor communication skills, Jyamma Games could release the game on the platform in the best condition possible.

The game developers recently unveiled the roadmap for Enotria: The Last Song and some players are scratching their heads about the upcoming updates. Most of the listed features should have been available and polished before the official launch day and many are skeptical about how this game will fare in the coming months. Jyamma Games could have been stuck between a rock and a hard place forced their hand to move up the release date and commit to the schedule of adding these updates beyond the intended release date.

The laundry list of improvements goes on forever until early next year suggesting that the game will be released in an incomplete state. Perhaps it wouldn’t be the best idea to launch the game immediately on Day One and wait until all updates and improvements are made to get the best experience. Players will likely encounter issues during their earlier playthrough that could taint their perception of the game and ruin its chances of survival altogether.

Releasing the game by March 2025 would have been the more logical route; however, the game developers are adamant about releasing the game later this month with quality-of-life improvements on the back burner. The gaming community has high expectations for this Soulslike adventure and it seems like they will be getting bits and pieces of improvements throughout the following months.

Most modern triple-A video games have been released with countless performance issues, at an unstable rate or outright unplayable conditions. It has become a trend for game developers to throw whatever they have cobbled into a package and send it out to the world for players to spend their hard-earned money to get what they thought was a great gaming experience which is extremely unethical and a practice that should be forgotten altogether.

Enotria: The Last Song Could Be the Next Game to Experience a Cyberpunk 2077 Level of Failure

Amidst the hype and anticipation, CD Projekt Red dropped the ball spectacularly for the studio’s recent game. The PlayStation 4 versions would constantly crash and the game is nowhere near the experience the game developers promised years ago during the marketing campaign. The game was polished after a series of updates and patches that made it stable and playable for the most part; unfortunately, the damage has already been done.

No words could describe how the gaming community felt when the video game was released. The game developers did not give up on the project and continued to work on the game and the modding community stepped in and did their part with an ultrarealistic graphics mod comparable to real life.

It is hard to bounce back after suffering a hit this massive and Jyamma Games could end up in a similar situation if the developers are not careful. The gaming community can be critical and impatient and will likely tear Enotria: The Last Song apart on launch day.

Jyamma Games had a roadmap prepared through March 2025 but it would have been for the best if these were already added to the base version. Playing an incomplete game will not be a great first impression.
