Microsoft's apology to Jyamma Games has altered the trajectory of Enotria: The Last Song's Xbox release, though a firm launch date remains elusive. Following a protracted delay in the Xbox certification process, lasting over two months, Microsoft reportedly issued a formal apology to the developer.
This apology follows Jyamma Games' public expression of frustration, with CEO Jacky Greco voicing concerns about Microsoft's lack of response and the significant investment already made in porting the game. The delay had previously led to the indefinite postponement of the Xbox release.
However, the tide turned with Microsoft's intervention. Jyamma Games publicly thanked Phil Spencer and the Xbox team for their swift response and assistance in resolving the situation. They also acknowledged the significant support from the player community. The studio is now actively collaborating with Microsoft to expedite the Xbox release.
While Microsoft's apology and renewed collaboration offer a positive turn of events, the exact Xbox release date remains uncertain. This situation highlights ongoing challenges some developers face with Xbox releases. This contrasts with the planned September 19th launch on PS5 and PC. Another developer, Funcom, recently revealed optimization challenges while porting Dune: Awakening to the Xbox Series S, further illustrating the complexities involved.
