The developers of BABYLON’S FALL recently revealed interesting details in their latest SQUARE ENIX PRESENTS, which we have translated for you. It will be about the world, the variety of weapons, the process of developing new content and much more.
The game was created by PlatinumGames
First of all, BABYLON’S FALL was developed by action game masters – PlatinumGames known for such projects as Metal Gear Rising Revengeance, Nier Automata and so on. This time it was directed by Kenji Saito from PlatinumGames and produced by Yosuke Saito and Junichi Ehara from Square Enix.
As players explore the Tower of Babel, players will face many powerful enemies and giant bosses who will have to be defeated, according to PlatinumGames, in pure style – that is, in an elegant, fast-paced and dynamic gameplay.
Multiplayer game
The biggest difference from previous PlatinumGames games is that BABYLON’S FALL is a multiplayer game.
You can team up with three other players to form a squad of up to four Guardians to co-op various tower challenges. By exploring its levels, following the story and defeating enemies, players will receive rewards, collect materials and create more powerful equipment for the next visit. By the way, playing in a group will be of key importance.
Coffin of Gideon
The main item in BABYLON’S FALL is called Gideon’s Coffin. Attached to your character’s back, this device is an essential component of the plot and will allow you to perform various actions in or out of combat. What actions are in question, the developers are still silent.
However, it is known that the “Coffin of Gideon” will give the opportunity to equip two additional weapons. Since the player can carry one in each hand, there are four weapons in total. With these sets, users will be able to create various combos.
Variety of weapons
Players will be able to choose from five types of weapons: swords, bows, hammers, staves and shields. For example, if you want to become a knight-sorcerer, you just need to arm yourself with two swords and two staves, or take a shield instead of a sword to be more resistant to damage. You can also equip four hammers to create powerful “furious” combinations.
Fantasy world
“The world of BABYLON’S FALL is what we call high fantasy, filled with beautifully crafted armor and weapons, exquisite outfits, realistic characters and medieval-themed decor. A graphic style inspired by European oil painting brings everything together for a polished and sophisticated finish. ” – said the developers.
The musical style, called by the PlatinumGames staff “medieval sound”, has an orchestral flavor, which, according to the authors’ assurances, conveys the unique atmosphere of BABYLON’S FALL – a story of both hope and despair.
Focus on feedback
Since BABYBLON’S FALL will be a service game, the developers want to gather users from all over the world. According to them, one of the most important aspects of the game is the close interaction between players and creators.
In the near and distant future, a large amount of content is planned, but as development progresses, the opinions and requests of the gaming community will be taken into account to make the project even more attractive to everyone.
Regular content addition
As previously mentioned, there is a lot of content planned after launch: new adventure locations, seasonal events, ranked challenges, and more.
So far, this is all the information that the developers have shared with the gaming community. They promised that they would soon have more news. Also, everyone can register to participate in the closed beta testing on the official website.
