Publisher Dotemu and animation studio Supamonks announced an animated series based on Absolum, their new arcade roguelite beat ‘em up game.

The new animated series will build upon Absolum’s lore and narrative, expanding its universe beyond the game while staying true to the essence of the original game. 

Absolum the game is in development for Windows PC (via Steam), Nintendo Switch, PS4, and PS5 with a release set for later this year.

“We are particularly excited about making this animated series because Supamonks has been involved in the Absolum project since its inception,” said Julien Bagnol-Roy, CEO of Supamonks in a press release. “Our teams have helped shape this universe right from the very start, and being able to now transform it into an animated series feels like a logical and exciting next step in our work. It is a unique opportunity to add a new dimension to a world we already know so well.”

Cyrille Imbert, CEO of Dotemu added, “As the first original production in our portfolio, Absolum has been given special attention at every stage of its development. Thanks to the game’s lore, art, and narrative development, we are certain it will be transformed into an incredible TV series—one that we would love to watch ourselves! The quality of their work and their involvement in the game’s artistic direction make Supamonks the ideal partner for this ambitious project.”
