The Elden Ring DLC, Shadow of the Erdtree, is gearing up to be one of gaming’s biggest events—so big, in fact, it’s scaring other developers into delaying their games. Such is the case of the indie soulslike game Enotria, which has been postponed to evade FromSoftware’s behemoth expansion.
Enotria: The Last Song is an indie soulslike title developed by Italian studio Jyamma Games and shares much of its design with FromSoftware’s genre-defining series. On Feb. 18, three days before the Shadow of the Erdtree trailer dropped, Enotria developers announced the release date for its game, that being June 21. Naturally, when FromSoftware decided to occupy that very same day with the Elden Ring DLC, Jyamma Games was forced to reconsider. Eight days later on Feb. 26, the studio’s chief executive, Jacky Greco, announced that Enotria‘s release has been “postponed” as releasing alongside the Elden Ring DLC would be “suicidal” for the action RPG.
