After such a long silence as it is remarkable, the next game from PlatinumGames is taking advantage of E3 2021 to bring back the good memories of lovers of looting in rule and online. Many puzzles remain, however, and it was necessary to send a triumvirate of developers to partially solve them.

What if you thought the Looters TPS proposal was crystal clear: think again. Square Enix posted an interview a few days ago with those responsible for this new license, just transcribed by taking good care of the blog Ryokutya 2089.
Status: it’s complicated
The team begins by calming the players down and casting a wide net to specify that Babylon’s case is intended to appeal to a large audience and explains that newcomers will also find what they are looking for.. Despite its game design, which draws happily from the genre of 3D Hack’n Slash, PlatinumGames guarantees that your game will be less difficult than a certain NieR Automatajust to (re) place one for the license, which continues to be very popular.
Fans of the genre can rest assured: with a multitude of pickaxe weapons in fantasy classics, there should be plenty to do and the team is making for an endgame that deserves the name and will thrive. The toughest looters continue to accumulate their search. Combining the handling of the sword with that of the mage’s stick will not be a problem, the idea so much of balancing all possible combinations, the adventure of being traversed four.
However, it got a little trickier when it came to talking about online gambling: when Babylon’s case will be open to cross-play, however, backup transfers will not be allowed, nor will cosmetic equipment purchased through microtransactions be allowed. Whatever happens, you need to be connected to play in collaboration, as there is no PvP mode on the agenda.
On the other hand, we quickly understand why the music at this point amplifies the atmosphere by discovering the orchestral recordings of Babylon’s fall, which draw their influences from the side of medieval Europe, for an already very pleasant result.
The artistic direction shown here allows us to measure the distance traveled since E3 was first announced in 2018, except that we can see the end of the road there Babylon’s case is slated to hit PC, PS4, and PS5 on an unknown date.
