Microids announces the beat them up Asterix & Obelix XXXL – Le Bélier d’Hibernie


Two years after Asterix & Obelix XXL3: The Crystal Menhir, here comes Asterix & Obelix XXXL: The Aries of Hibernia, a new adventure that will send our two irreducible Gauls to Hibernia, the Latin term for Ireland. The pair of hitters will be called for help by Kératine, the daughter of Irishcoffix, a local chef, to do what they do best: take off Romans from their sandals, with the mission of finding the Golden Ram of the chief Irishcofix.

Judging from the press release accompanying this announcement, Asterix & Obelix XXXL: The Aries of Hibernia will follow in the footsteps of the previous XXL models by mixing beat ’em up, exploration and puzzles. A formula which, let us remember, had not particularly thrilled our national Father Fidalbion in the test he devoted to Asterix & Obelix XXL3: The Crystal Menhir. Hopefully this new installment heeds the criticisms leveled at its predecessor. Microids has already announced that it will be possible to indulge up to four players, instead of two until now. Note, however, that the trailer accompanying this news shows that the two additional players will also control the Asterix and Obelix duo.

Asterix & Obelix XXXL: The Aries of Hibernia is announced for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox Series, Switch, and Mac later this fall.
