At Tech4gamers, I cover all sorts of gaming news. Whether it’s a leak of any upcoming game or an update, an announcement, or a rumour, I like to write about it all. Over the weekend, I sit and write features where I talk about games that I miss or want to see return.

Enotria: The Last Song is finally launching later this month. However, the developers recently confirmed that it has been delayed indefinitely on Xbox because Microsoft ignored their queries for two months.

Following the recent announcement, it has now been reported that Microsoft has apologized to Jyamma Games for ignoring their queries.

Why it matters: This isn’t the first time developers have faced issues releasing their titles on the Xbox; many developers have faced multiple issues in the past.

Recently, Jyamma Games released a statement about how Xbox ignored their queries for two months. While the developers spent a lot of time and money on the Xbox version, Microsoft decided to ignore them.

Obviously they don’t care about Enotria, and they don’t care about you [the players].

However, a Games Industry report suggests that Microsoft has apologized to the studio following the recent statement. While nothing much has been revealed about the Xbox launch for Enotria: The Last Song, it’s likely that both teams are working on the certification issues.

The Xbox port is unlikely to come anytime soon, but this is still a good step from Microsoft. With both teams working on the issue, the problem should be solved eventually.

The major issue seems to be with the ID@Xbox program. It has been speculated that Microsoft cut budgets for this department, leading to communication issues.

Elsewhere, hardware problems with the Xbox Series S have prevented releases like Black Myth: Wukong and Baldur’s Gate 3 from arriving on Xbox on time. In any case, Microsoft needs to do a better job supporting third-party studios.

It remains to be seen when Enotria: The Last Song will be launched on the Xbox platform. PlayStation and PC fans will be able to play the Souls-like as soon as the 19th of September, but no release date has been confirmed for Xbox Series S|X yet.
