A WORLD-FAMOUS FRANCHISE JOINS THE NACON CATALOGUE THIS YEAR

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.
