Babylon’s Fall didn’t really get a memorable start. Struggling to reach a peak of 1,000 simultaneous players on Steam, the title is off to a very bad start for a service game, which wants to bet everything on its cooperation aspect and its longevity. What already sign his death warrant? Not for Square-Enix and PlantinumGameswho intends not to drop the game right away.
Promise it’s not the end, please don’t leave

In a message addressed to its community, which is no longer available today but still visible on social networks, the development team assures that it “ there are no plans to reduce Babylon’s Fall’s development ambition “, with content already planned for season 2 of the game while development of season 3 is underway, just like what will come next. In short, the year 2022 already seems to be planned for the title, and the poor results will not change anything.
Good news for fans of the game, even if we come to find it surprising that such a message is broadcast so soon after the release. We then find ourselves faced with a situation Marvel’s Avengersarguably even worse, although the development costs are obviously not the same here, with a game that will have to survive somehow hoping that its updates attract a new audience.
During the last 24 hours, the game has only managed to reach a peak of 315 players on Steam simultaneously, which is obviously worrying for the rest of the operations. It now remains to be seen whether this desire to keep the game alive is wanted by the development team, or by the publisher.
Babylon’s Fall is available on PC, PS4 and PS5. Do not hesitate to consult our test to find out more.
