Enotria: The Last Song is an upcoming souls-like currently targeting a Spring 2024 launch on PS5. What's the spin this time? Enotria eschews the darkness and bathes in a sunlit world inspired by Italian folklore. This is a technical showcase trailer, and while the art direction and environment are impressive enough, we'd hope combat animations get tightened up a bit before launch.
Gripped by the Canovaccio, a twisted, eternal play, the world is kept in unnatural stasis. As a Maskless One, you have no pre-ordained role in this charade and are thus the master of your own destiny. Defeating the fearsome Authors will free this world from stagnation and reward you with their fallen Masks, allowing for new styles of play.
What do you think of Enotria: The Last Song? Is there enough here to pique your interest, or are you starting to tire of this prolific subgenre? Let us know in the comments section below.

"we'd hope combat animations get tightened up a bit before launch"
Yeah, the world design looks gorgeous, but a Soulslike lives or dies by its combat, and even if the devs say they have made great strides in making it better, it still looks very janky.
Hopefully they will take the time to make it better, I'm always in for a good indie Soulslike!
In for Italian souls 🇮🇹
Saw some people say the art direction and sound design will carry the game. Makes a lot of sense because this looks way too rigid.
I dunno. Maybe I'm not as far into Souls games as other people, but I think it looked fine. The art direction is gorgeous af, and while a little slow and limited, the animations and gameplay reminded me of Ashen, which I adored.
Sure, Ashen wasn't as expansive (move and gameplay-wise as others in the genre), but I appreciated how lean and focused it was. I think this may be striving toward something more like that.
Ashen being so simple actually allowed me to focus and work my way through to finishing it (my first Souls game ever - kind of my gateway into the genre in a way). I will definitely keep this on my radar.
I wish every single game and franchise would become a souls like.
Yea the graphics look fantastic but the gameplay is rough.
