Bandai Namco Entertainment Europe and Developer Sproing have announced the release of the mobile version of „Asterix & Friends“ today. The game will initially soft-launch in Canada, Austria and Switzerland on both iOS and Android platforms, with the global release expected later in the year.

“The concept of the game is just a perfect fit for mobile devices. Finally being able to defend your village from everywhere and teach the Romans a lesson several times a day – who wouldn’t like that? It’s also nice that we could include our home country Austria in the soft-launch alongside Canada and Switzerland. We are looking forward to the user feedback and expect the game to be received very well.” said Harald Riegler, CEO of Sproing.

The mobile version features all the huge content of the web version and later in the year, players will be able to cross-play between Facebook and mobile.
