Lesquin,
17th of
May 2023 – NACON is
pleased to announce that they have signed a publishing and
distribution agreement with Jumpgate AB and Les Editions Albert
René for the game Asterix & Obelix: Heroes. Developed by the
Jumpgate-studio gameXcite, the game will be available on PC and
consoles, including Nintendo Switch™, in September 2023.
Until now, the world-famous franchise had been
absent from NACON’s catalogue, and as an expert in licensed games,
NACON is therefore delighted to include it amongst their 2023
releases.
For more than 60 years now, Asterix has
delighted fans of all ages around the world. This is also the goal
of Asterix & Obelix: Heroes, a game designed with everyone in
mind, including gamers, thanks to this brand-new concept set in the
world of the famous Gaul.
Asterix & Obelix: Heroes is a card game with
RPG mechanics in which players collect their favourite Gaulish
heroes and then prepare to attack the Romans. During the adventure,
players earn new cards with unique characteristics and take part in
challenges and events that are encountered around the map. Fans of
the franchise will be pleased to rediscover the iconic locations,
characters and art style of Asterix’s various adventures over the
years.
"We are working closely with Jumpgate AB on
different projects and are delighted to be working on this one,
which is aimed at millions of fans around the world and at every
generation," said Alain Falc, NACON's Chief Executive Officer.
" Asterix & Obelix: Heroes is the most
accomplished project based on the Asterix franchise we have
developed so far. With the many hours of combat and card collecting
it offers, it is the perfect game for console and PC!” said Harald
Riegler, CEO of Jumpgate AB.
