Enotria: The Last Song Devs Insist Xbox Delay Isn't Due To Exclusivity Deal

Summary

• Enotria: The Last Song's Xbox release is on an indefinite delay, according to an official blog post from its developers.
• Per multiple statements from the team, the delay has nothing to do with an exclusivity deal with Sony PlayStation.
• Instead, there has been a delay in communication between Microsoft and Jyamma Games that has lasted two months.
• That delay has delayed the entire submission process, even though the Xbox Series versions are "practically" ready.

Enotria: The Last Song will be launching on PC and PlayStation 5 on September 19, however, its planned Xbox Series release has been delayed indefinitely, according to a new blog post on Enotria's official website.

In the wake of that announcement, rampant speculation kicked up regarding a potential PlayStation exclusivity deal, similar to what has been going on with Black Myth: Wukong. Its developers, Jyamma Games, however, insist that is not the case.

The delay is reportedly due to a lack of communication at Microsoft's end. That lack of correspondence is delaying the submission process, which, in turn, has now put the Xbox version of the game on an indefinite delay.

There's No Exclusivity Deal In Place

Taking to Twitter, the official Enotria account responded to several other accounts that were questioning the indefinite delay. Those responses helped provide clarity to the situation, though, it still is unclear what exactly Microsoft needs to do to get the game on its flagship consoles.

"Just to clear things out - we're not paid by Sony, and we're not making a deal with PlayStation. We tried to get the game out on Xbox with other platforms as well, and we spent many resources to do so, but we failed due to lack of communication on their side," one statement from the Enotria account read.

That was later followed up with information that "the only thing Sony did was work with us on getting the game ready on their platform." According to the team, it's been two months since Microsoft replied to its submission, and that the game is "practically" ready for Series S and X.

And if there were any concerns or speculation that the Series S was the reason for these issues, the devs also cleared that up, too. "It's not a performance issue, the game works better as expected on Series S, and really good on Series X," part of a separate reply read.

The official Enotria account finished by putting out a statement, asking the community to let Xbox know about the situation in hopes of a resolution as the team is ready for submission.

At the time of publication, it appears that no one on the Xbox side has responded to these claims. Multiple gamers have gone on to tag the accounts of Phil Spencer and Sarah Bond, among others, however, there has been no official response.
