Asterix & Obelix – Mission Babylon

Balio Studio developed and Microids published Asterix & Obelix – Mission Babylon. It launched on October 30, 2025, for PC, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch. The story takes Asterix and Obelix far from their village in Armorica. They travel to the exotic East on an original adventure filled with humor, traps, and Roman legionaries who never seem to learn their lesson. Furthermore, the journey leads all the way to the legendary city of Babylon itself.

About the Game

Mission Babylon is a fast-paced 2D action platformer built around the complementary abilities of its two heroes. Asterix relies on speed and agility to dodge traps, squeeze through tight spaces, and deliver quick combo attacks. Obelix, meanwhile, uses raw brute force to smash through obstacles, hurl enemies across the screen, and bulldoze whatever stands in his way. Together, their abilities interlock and open up solutions that neither hero could manage alone. Additionally, the game packs its levels with hidden secrets and collectibles that reward fans of the original comic series. Massive boss fights punctuate each world and escalate in spectacle as the adventure progresses.

Wesentliche Merkmale

Local Co-op for Two Players: The entire game is playable solo or in local co-op from start to finish. In co-op, one player controls Asterix while the other controls Obelix. Furthermore, puzzles and combat sections are specifically designed around their contrasting abilities. Consequently, co-op play opens up strategies and solutions not available in solo mode.
Four Brand-New Worlds with 20+ Replayable Levels: The adventure spans four entirely new regions created specifically for this game. Each world carries its own visual atmosphere, enemy types, and gameplay mechanics. Moreover, levels range from scorching sun-baked deserts to the enigmatic wonders of ancient Babylon. Additionally, every level is fully replayable for players hunting hidden secrets and collectibles.
Fast-Paced Combat and Massive Boss Fights: Combat centers on sending Roman legionaries flying in spectacular, physics-driven impacts. Both heroes have their own attack styles and combo chains that evolve throughout the campaign. Furthermore, each world ends with a formidable boss fight that tests the player’s mastery of both characters. However, the difficulty curve is tuned for accessibility, keeping the experience fun for younger players as well.
Hidden Secrets and Comic Fan Service: Levels are filled with hidden areas, collectibles, and visual nods to the original Goscinny and Uderzo comics. Therefore, longtime fans of the series will find plenty to discover beyond simply reaching the end of each stage. Additionally, the writing and humor throughout the story stay faithful to the tone of the source material.

Games Like This

Similar Game	Hauptunterschied	Am besten für
Asterix & Obelix XXL: Romastered	The earlier Microids Asterix title with remastered 3D environments and a Rome-based setting. However, it uses 3D brawler mechanics rather than 2D platforming. Furthermore, it targets a more retro-nostalgia audience than Mission Babylon’s fresh approach.	Players who want a 3D brawler take on the Asterix universe rather than a 2D platformer adventure.
Rayman Legends	A polished 2D platformer with local co-op support and a similarly playful cartoon art style. Nevertheless, it has no licensed characters, no comic-based humor, and a completely different rhythm-based level design in its standout stages.	Players who want a highly refined 2D co-op platformer without the Asterix IP attached.
Tintin Reporter: Cigars of the Pharaoh	Another European comic-IP adventure game published by Microids in the same era. However, it is a third-person action-adventure rather than a 2D platformer. Additionally, it targets an older, more puzzle-focused audience.	Players who enjoy European comic-based licensed games but prefer exploration and puzzles over fast platforming combat.
