Xbox Apologizes, Enotria Devs Adjust

Microsoft has reportedly issued an apology to Jyamma Games after issues with the Xbox launch of the developer's debut title, Enotria: The Last Song.

Enotria Xbox Release Date Still Indefinite, Microsoft Reportedly ApologizesJyamma Games Thanks Phil Spencer and Player Community

Microsoft extended an apology to Jyamma Games following setbacks in the Xbox certification process for their debut title, Enotria: The Last Song. The gaming giant reached out to the developer after reports emerged of Microsoft overlooking Jyamma Games' submission of the title to the Xbox platform for over two months. This setback had prompted the developer to declare earlier in the week the indefinite postponement of the game's Xbox release.

Previously on the game's official Discord channel, in what appeared to be a heated expression of frustration, Jyamma CEO Jacky Greco wrote: "You can inquire with Xbox as to why they have not responded to us for two months," and adding, "Evidently they disregard Enotria and you... We have the Xbox Series X/S version ready, but we are unable to proceed with submission and release, I invested heavily in porting and they chose to overlook us."

But everything changed when the Xbox team apologized. On Twitter (X), Jyamma Games expressed appreciation to Microsoft, thanking Phil Spencer and his team, specifically, for their response. "We would like to formally thank Phil Spencer and his team for reaching out to us so promptly and assisting in resolving our situation," the studio stated. They also expressed gratitude to their community, acknowledging the player community's outspoken support: "Your voice has been heard very clearly, and your dedication has been heartwarming."

"We are now collaborating closely with Microsoft," Jyamma Games confirmed, "and we anticipate this partnership will lead to the game's release for Xbox as soon as feasible."

The developer further detailed the exchange on Enotria's Discord server, where Greco shared that Microsoft had finally responded and apologized for the oversight. "They contacted us and said sorry about the predicament, we're trying to solve everything as soon as possible," Greco said in the chat.

Jyamma Games isn't the only studio facing challenges with Xbox releases recently. Earlier this week, Funcom Chief Product Officer Scott Junior revealed to VG247 that it has encountered optimization issues while porting Dune: Awakening to the Xbox Series S. The PS5 and PC launches of Enotria: The Last Song are still scheduled for September 19. However, it remains unclear if the game's Xbox launch will push through during Enotria's announced release date.
