Absolum’s February 2026 Update Teaser: Thread of Fate

Exciting news for the fans of Absolum, a beat-’em-up action role-playing game (RPG): A significant free content update entitled ‘Thread of Fate’, is slated for release on February 12, 2026. This announcement was shared by none other than DotEmu, the game developer, who has also contributed to popular games like Streets of Rage 4. n n The ‘Threads of Fate’ update boasts a thrilling new gameplay mode known as Mystic Ordeal. This mode is designed to allow players to challenge themselves with a range of different modifiers, very much turning the traditional RPG mechanics on their head. Moreover, an option to customize their ordeals will be provided, crafting a truly personalized gaming experience. n n But that’s not all. This update also introduces corrupted regions into the game. These areas represent high-risk zones filled with formidable enemies. However, as is always the case in the risky business of gaming, greater challenges lead to greater rewards. The risks taken by the players in these new regions will be compensated by substantial treasure and loot. n n Fans of Absolum can also look forward to Elite mounts, a wide array of new skins, and expressive emotes, thereby further enhancing the game’s immersive nature. n n The fascinating world of Talamh, where the game is set, was earlier devastated by a catastrophic magical event brought about by wizards. In the aftermath of this calamity, magic was heavily frowned upon, and was exploited by the Sun King Azra. He enslaved the wizards and installed his trusted allies as the rulers of his captured territories. Players of Absolum are placed in the shoes of one of the four rebels in this intricate plot, guided by Uchawi and the Root Sisters, who are intent on leveraging forbidden magic to break Azra’s oppressive regime. n n On the occasion of this update announcement, DotEmu also took the opportunity to reveal that Absolum has already achieved an impressive milestone, having sold half a million copies to date. A clear testimony to the game’s increasing popularity and success in the gaming community.
