An upcoming fantasy action RPG, Babylon X is gearing up to launch on PC and consoles. Before then though, we get to take a first look at Babylon X in action.
From the Mighty Boy Studio team, Babylon X will – at some point, we have no release window yet – launch on PC and console. But much like that release window, those console details are thin on the ground too. We’re going to guess (and hope) that Babylon X looks to launch on Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5 and PC at the very minimum. Shall we chuck in Xbox One, PS4 and Switch for good measure? I’m sure Mighty Boy Studio will tell us otherwise at some point, although we feel that older consoles may be too much of a push.
Babylon X is coming
Whenever, and wherever, it does arrive, it looks to be of some quality. Babylon X whisks us off to an alternative history in which the Tower of Babel is in the process of being completed. The thing is, humanity is on the verge of an impending apocalypse.
Mighty Boy Studio have set out to create something big with Babylon X – to combine the best elements of Western and Eastern narrative and directing, taking inspiration from classic JRPGs such as the Final Fantasy series and Hollywood action-adventure films of 90’s. You get to see some of that in action via the first look cinematic trailer.
Watch below as you get to follow Samson and Leykah, as their journey unfolds.
Babylon X is a fantasy action RPG that takes place in an alternative history of the Ancient World where energy, gravity, and its connections with ancient magic were discovered and led to technological advancements in Babylon and Egypt. Samson, a former prophet who is now a runaway slave and avenger, and Leykah, a young moon cult priestess, band together to face the impending apocalypse of their dying world. They are in search for the answers that just might save it.
An epic setting
Beyond the epic setting, there should be a huge focus on a simple human story, complete with an emotional and personal tone for players. During the journey protagonists will get to know themselves, find a new purpose in life, and maybe even fall in love. What more could you ask for?
With a robust action combat system to hand, tactical ideas, a magic casting system, a semi-open world to explore, puzzles to solve and NPCs to interact with, we cannot wait to hear more about Babylon X as the weeks and months progress.
Features will include
Expect to be treated to all of the following, when Babylon X launches on PC and consoles…
- Customizable Adventurers – As players adventure with both Samson and Leykah, a wide range of gadgets, weapons, abilities, and magic will be available for players to choose their style of play that best suits them as they traverse the dangers that await in the Ancient World.
- All-new fantasy setting to explore – The Alternative Ancient World combines the popular images of Babylon and Egypt mixed with techno-fantasy. Players revisit a fresh approach to the legend of the Tower of Babel with a unique non-canonically fantasy telling of the mythical tower.
- Robust combat and magic systems – Players will experience a robust action combat and spellcast system which prioritizes (and rewards) controlling the battlefield, find enemy vulnerabilities, combine weapons and abilities, and use the environment to dominate. Players will also be introduced to the GraviOrb, a universal tool allowing the use of gravity force for both exploration and encounters.
- Role playing with meaningful choices and impacts: Bablyon X is a dynamic world where events are triggered not only by scripts alone, but also by the grey morality and choices that players will be asked to make. With an original narrative system with interactive cutscenes, its world does not fit into the black and white morality, forcing players to make difficult choices along the way that will have real impacts on the world around them.
Looks good huh? Drop into the comments and let us know your thoughts.
