PS4/PC Babylon's Fall

BABYLON’S FALL™ is a brand-new, ground breaking project being developed in partnership with PlatinumGames Inc. It will release on the PlayStation®4 computer entertainment system and STEAM® in 2019.

Gematsu: Let’s get this one out of the way at the start. What’s going on with Babylon’s Fall?

Atsushi Inaba: “I’m sorry, but it’s up to the publisher to release any news. So if you could wait a little more, I’d appreciate it. But development has been going well so far.”

Ah, is that so? I think some were worried it may have been cancelled.

Inaba: “(Laughs.) No, its going smoothly. I can assure you that it’s shaping up well.”

We’ve seen Platinum do extensive collaborations with Nintendo, and even tried a go with Microsoft. Would you consider Sony as a partner as well?

Inaba: “Oh, we really want to. You guys should go tell the folks at Sony so collaborate with us.”

Inaba-san, you previously teased a game that would be unlike anything before it. Can you tell me a bit about that?

Inaba: “Nope, sorry. (Laughs.) I think it’s going to be something we can reveal at our own timing, so if you would wait for us that would be appreciated. I’m confident that its going to be new and exciting game for everyone. Since it’s a game like no other, I think you’ll need some time to even understand what it is.”

Earlier this year, the cooperation between Cygames and Platinum Games on Granblue Fantasy: Relink came to an end. All mention of Platinum Games was removed from the game’s website. Was this an amicable split?

Inaba: “It was just a matter of the contract coming to an end. At the end of our initial agreement, they decided they will make the rest of the game by themselves. So we have no say in it, and we shouldn’t really care too much.”

How do you feel about having the Platinum Games logo removed from the project?

Inaba: “It’s not really about me. There were staff involved in the project, so I don’t feel its my right to talk on their behalf. It might have been a happy ending if they were to be involved to the end, but a contract is a contract. When a partnership ends, it’s natural for our logo to be taken off their project. Also, from the point the contract ended, whatever decisions Cygames make for their game is theirs alone. It would be weird to have Platinum’s logo still there after they’ve decided to make the rest of the game on their own.”

Spieler können demnach einen reinen Online-Titel erwarten, wie Platinum Games gegenüber dem japanischen Magazin GameWatch erklärt. Das offline spielen wird nicht möglich sein, aber es sind auch keine PvP-Battles geplant.

Battle Pass, Seasons & mehr
Babylon’s Fall erscheint zudem als regulärer Titel und nicht als Free-2-Play oder ähnliches. Daher wird auch PlayStation Plus zum Spielen vorausgesetzt. Für die weitere Monitarisierung wird man In-Game Items kaufen können, ebenso sind ein Battle Pass und Seasons geplant, die etwa 3 Monate andauern. Auch über diese lassen sich weitere In-Game Items verdienen, jedoch nur rein kosmetischer Natur. Spielerische Vorteile wird man dadurch nicht haben. Obendrauf plant man thematische In-Game Event, etwa zu Halloween oder Weihnachten, die zeitlich begrenzte Belohnungen abwerfen.
