Enotria: The Last Song Developer Blasts Microsoft for Ignoring Game Submission for Months

Jyamma Games CEO Jacky Greco didn't mince words when addressing the situation, saying, "You can ask Xbox why they haven't answered us for 2 months. Obviously they don't care about Enotria and they don't care about you." He went on to explain that despite having the Xbox Series X|S version ready, they were unable to proceed with submission and release due to a lack of response from Microsoft.

For what it's worth, Jyamma Games isn't blaming the Xbox Series S this time around, with a community manager clarifying that the economically priced console didn't cause the delay and that Sony had not paid them to make the game exclusive, unlike what the rumors are saying with Black Myth: Wukong.

Developers have long criticized Microsoft's certification process as cumbersome and time-consuming to the point that it becomes a hindrance.

With Enotria: The Last Song the latest game to skip Xbox or, at the very least, face significant delays, it now becomes fair to question Microsoft's commitment to its gaming arm.

The timing of this announcement is particularly troubling for Xbox fans. It comes on the heels of other high-profile games either skipping the platform or facing delays. The action RPG Black Myth Wukong recently announced an indefinite delay for its Xbox version, while major publishers like Capcom have opted to skip Xbox for the upcoming remasters of classic fighting games and titles like Monster Hunter Stories 1 and 2.

With the next generation of consoles already on the horizon—the next PlayStation and Xbox consoles are expected to hit the market in 2028—Microsoft has to address these concerns and reassure both developers and consumers about the future of Xbox. Otherwise, it's bound to have an effect on the Game Pass as well, which is obviously what it's trying to sell these days instead of the Xbox consoles.

The company's handling of this latest setback could have far-reaching implications for its position in the gaming industry.

For now, fans of Enotria: The Last Song on Xbox are left in limbo, wondering when – or if – they'll get to experience the game on their preferred platform.
