Anuman Interactive today announced that they have signed a licencing agreement with Les Éditions Albert René for the rights to Asterix and Obelix for several video game projects. The first of these games will be released in the 4th quarter of 2018 under the Microïds label.
Alain Milly, Vice-President of Publishing at Anuman Interactive, said:
“The Anuman Interactive team is delighted to be working on a licence as prestigious as Asterix and Obelix. We look forward to having players take on the roles of these iconic, cross-generation heroes.”

WHAT?! You will not gonna believe this but I was just wondering yesterday how come there are no more Asterix games, played quite few of them when I was a kid.
Thou seeing as they will be made by Microids they will most likely be adventure games rather than some nice beat-em-up. I like quite few of their older ones but lately…eeeh, Syberia 3 was really not good. Fact that it felt unfinished did not helped either.
Lmao and they got rights now and are planning to release first game at end of the year? Damn how happy I was when I started typing this…reality settled at this point. It will most likely be buggy, unplayable mess. Gameplay elements aside.
You’ve just experienced a Baader Meinhof 😀
Which reminds me, i tried to play Asterix & Obelix XXL, didnt run, got the gamecube edition with dolphin.
