Paris, July 29, 2025 – Microids is thrilled to unveil Asterix & Obelix: Mission Babylon, a brand-new, vibrant adventure developed by Balio Studio, launching on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC on October 30, 2025. Our two moustachioed heroes are ready to leave Armorica behind and make their legendary punches echo far beyond their borders. A brand-new destination, some Romans in need of discipline, and their indomitable spirit still going strong!
This time, they're heading East!
Our heroes leave their peaceful Armorica for a crucial mission at the edge of the Parthian Empire, a legendary kingdom under threat from Caesar’s ambitions.
Their goal? Save King Monipehni, who has fallen victim to a vile poison brewed by the nefarious sorcerer Bahmbuhzeli.
To succeed, Asterix and Obelix must journey through mysterious lands, gather the ingredients for an antidote... and of course, give a good thrashing to some overconfident Roman cohorts.
A platforming game full of action, laughs, and exotic flair
Asterix & Obelix: Mission Babylon emphasizes the fun of playing together, with a local co-op mode designed to take full advantage of the duo’s complementary strengths.
But whether playing solo or with a friend, the experience remains generous and accessible: every player can delight in bashing legionaries, avoiding traps, and progressing through a rich and varied world.
The game features four all-new worlds, each created specifically for this title, with their own unique visual atmosphere, gameplay mechanics, and challenges.
From sun-drenched Eastern landscapes to the mysterious corners of Babylon, the environments are filled with exotic details and nods to the beloved comic book series.
With dynamic combat, epic boss fights, replayable levels, and hidden secrets, the adventure promises to be as entertaining as it is explosive… all delivered with a signature dose of irreverent humor true to the spirit of Asterix.
