In Asterix & Obelix: Slap Them All the two Gauls’ slap fest isn’t going to happen in 2022 (which is good: many titles have been pushed to next year).

Mr Nutz Studio (we haven’t made up that name) and Microids will release the new adventures of Asterix & Obelix before Christmas, and it will be available in several physical editions, too. The Limited Edition will contain a copy of the game, a keychain, two sticker sheets, and three lithographs. The Collector’s Edition will also include a 27-centimetre (10.5-inch) Asterix figurine.

Here is an overview of the game via Microids: “Be prepared to prove your bravery! Asterix & Obelix: Slap them All! is set in 50 B.C.E. Gaul, entirely occupied by the Romans. Only one small village of indomitable Gauls still holds out against the invaders. Play as Asterix and Obelix and set sail to the most iconic places in the comic book series while battling Roman legionaries, pirates, brigands and even the dreaded Normans.

Mr Nutz Studio is in charge of developing Asterix & Obelix: Slap them All! and making this adventure as faithful to the original material as possible. The developers chose to go with an artistic direction very close to the comic book where the characters, the scenery and the animations are hand-drawn. It’s an authentic tribute to the 2D animated classics and is executed in a style that will surely appeal to Asterix fans and retro gamers alike.

Unlike Getafix’s magic potion, there is no secret ingredient to the gameplay besides good, old-fashioned fun. Think about the core mechanics defining the beat ’em up genre and sprinkle with some local co-op! By Jupiter, by Teutates… These Gauls are crazy!”

According to the announcement, Asterix & Obelix: Slap Them All! will launch on November 25 on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC (Steam) with English, French, and German audio and EnglishFrench, Italian, German, and Spanish subtitles.
