New Astérix & Obélix Video Game Set to Launch in October 2025

Microids has officially announced the release of its new action-platformer game, "Astérix & Obélix: Mission Babylone," scheduled to hit the shelves on October 30, 2025. This eagerly awaited title will allow players to join the iconic French comic characters Astérix and Obélix in an epic quest to rescue King Monipehni from the evil sorcerer Bahmbuhzeli, known for his scheming and magic.

The game will be launched on multiple platforms, including PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam. It will feature over 20 replayable levels spread across four distinct themed worlds, immersing players in the vibrant settings of the Parthian Empire and the famous city of Babylon.

Core gameplay elements will include a blend of dynamic combat, platforming challenges, and environmental puzzles, and the game will support local co-op play for two players. Both characters will leverage their unique abilities, promising an enjoyable experience for both solo and cooperative gamers. The development team at Balio Studio aims to respect the beloved spirit of the original Astérix comic series by Goscinny and Uderzo, infusing humor and charm throughout the gameplay.

Despite mixed reviews of previous game adaptations, Microids seeks to reclaim the series' legacy through innovative gameplay and immersive visuals. Players can look forward to exploring hidden secrets and unique mechanics in the richly designed worlds, which promise to offer both nostalgia for longtime fans and appeal to new players alike.
