Read details on the game below:
Our two mustachioed 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 cooperative mode designed to take full advantage of the duo’s complementary strengths.
