Microids has confirmed a release date for Asterix & Obelix: Slap Them All! 2 on Nintendo Switch.
Mr Nutz Studio is behind this fast-paced 2D beat ’em up sequel, in which Goudurix seeks help from Asterix, Obelix and the villagers after his father, Oceanonix, is imprisoned for a theft he did not commit.
The Aquila of Lutetia has been stolen and Oceanonix is accused of being the culprit. Asterix and Obelix must journey to Lutetia to start to uncover the truth about who is behind the crime.
Promising to pay tribute to the comics “in an exceptional way,” the developer has created the game’s characters, backgrounds and animations by hand. You can expect more fearsome enemies and bosses, with the experience enhanced with “a host of new features and gameplay improvements.”
Asterix and Obelix now have “new specific moves they can charge up for even more powerful attacks,” may choose to trigger their Fury mode to increase their strength, and unleash an Ultimate attack to devastate their foes.
Asterix & Obelix: Slap Them All! 2 will be released at retail and digitally on the Nintendo eShop for Nintendo Switch worldwide on 30 November 2023.
