Asterix & Obelix: Mission Babylon Launches October 2025 with Wacky Co-Op Action

Microids has announced Asterix & Obelix: Mission Babylon, a brand-new local co-op platformer launching October 2025. Here’s what to expect from this comedic classic’s latest adventure.

Gauls Just Wanna Have Fun — Asterix & Obelix Are Back

The mustachioed mischief-makers of comic book fame are back for another round of Roman-punching antics. Asterix & Obelix: Mission Babylon has been officially revealed by developer Microids, bringing a new wave of local co-op chaos to PS5, Switch, and PC this October 2025.

It’s everything you’d expect from an Asterix & Obelix game — humor, action, Roman beatdowns — now wrapped in the smooth shell of a modern co-op platformer.

What’s Mission Babylon All About?

While the full story details are still locked away in Caesar’s vault, here’s what we know:

• Two-player local co-op is the heart of the game
  
• You’ll control Asterix and Obelix, solving puzzles and navigating 20 levels across four unique worlds
  
• Expect devices like hoists, switches, and movable platforms — basically all the chaotic physics fun you’d want from a co-op adventure
  
• The game will continue the franchise’s signature humor and comic flair, with slapstick Roman-fighting and goofy set pieces galore
  

If you’ve ever wanted a Saturday morning cartoon version of It Takes Two, this is probably it.

Platform & Release Info

• Launch Date: October 2025
  
• Platforms: PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, and PC
  
• Multiplayer: Local co-op only (as of current info)
  

No word yet on online play, but this one’s clearly built with couch gaming in mind.

A Quick Recap on the Asterix & Obelix Series

For those unfamiliar, Asterix & Obelix is a long-running French comic series turned game franchise that’s been chugging along since 1983. While it’s a household name in Europe, the series has flown under the radar in the U.S.

Recent years have been especially active:

• 2018–2023: At least one game released every year
  
• 2023 alone saw two new games just weeks apart
  
• Focused heavily on beat-em-ups, side-scrollers, and remasters
  
• Gained traction thanks to charming animation and loyal fan appeal
  

With Mission Babylon, the franchise is now getting a fresh co-op glow-up to match the likes of Unravel Two, Chained Together, and It Takes Two.

Why Local Co-Op Games Are Back in Style

After years of everything being online-only, games like It Takes Two proved that local multiplayer still slaps — especially for friends, families, and content creators.

Mission Babylon taps into that same appeal:

• Simple pick-up-and-play mechanics
  
• Wholesome humor for players of all ages
  
• Chaotic puzzle-solving that thrives on trial, error, and laughter
