Absolum: the announcement trailer unveils the touch version

The announcement trailer for the iOS/Android version of Absolum just dropped, and it plays the demonstration card rather than teasing. No mysterious cutscene here: Playdigious shows the game running directly on smartphone, with combos on screen and a redesigned interface to back it up.

We see clashes against the elite guards of the Sun King Azra roll by, with that mix of arcade beat 'em up and roguelite mechanics that made the original game so special. The video lingers on the four playable heroes, Galandra, Karl, Brome and Cider, and on their distinct fighting styles. The chained elemental combos, a hallmark of the title in co-op, are well highlighted. For the details of mobile features like cross-progression or cloud save, head to our dedicated article.

What's changed since the console launch

Unlike the launch trailers on PS5, PS4, Switch and PC in October 2025, this one focuses on touch ergonomics. The interface has been entirely redesigned for the smartphone screen, a tricky exercise for a genre as demanding in precision as the beat 'em up. The gamble is worth keeping an eye on at launch.

Next step

The mobile version arrives on November 5 on App Store and Google Play, a few months after the Xbox Series port in March 2026. A Switch 2 version has also been announced for this year, with no specific date for now.
