Absolum is one of the most popular new beat 'em ups of 2025 (right alongside MARVEL Cosmic Invasion), so it's no surprise that the game will continue to grow. Today, Dotemu announced that a version 1.1 update is in the works, as well as what the update will include. The only downside is that the update won't be released for a while yet, but there's plenty to look forward to!

Me oh my, it's a good season for beat 'em ups. Arc System Works' Double Dragon: Revive is just around the corner, and Dotemu's Absolum recently landed on all platforms but the beleaguered Xbox. Not only is Absolum garnering piles of critical praise, it has also sold over 200,000 copies in its first week of release. That's an impressive debut for Dotemu's first game that isn't a remake or a sequel to an existing franchise. It certainly helps that the game is a gorgeous 2D beat 'em up with 2-player local and online co-op.
