The two heroes have been given a new look and now appear in high-definition 3D. Their characters are more clearly defined and the technology reflects Atari’s approach to the universe of our irrepressible Roman bashers. Also, players no longer have to choose between the characters: they can control both Asterix and Obelix at the same time! This “PAIRING” is a videogame first!

“Atari innovates again with its adaptation of the Gallic heroes’ universe, in which gamers will feel like they have drunk an interactive magic potion,” explained Atari Group chairman Bruno Bonnell. “Asterix & Obelix XXL is bound to be a Christmas best seller for new-generation consoles.”
