Babylon’s Fall, a mysterious title that vanished from public view after it was announced, is back and due for release. Here’s everything you need to know.

Babylon’s Fall is a new game from Square-Enix developed by Platinum Games. Like Platinum’s previous titles, Babylon’s Fall features hack and slash mechanics with RPG elements and an emphasis on multiplayer, although single-player options will be available.

The game was originally announced in 2018 but vanished into obscurity until E3 2021, where Square Enix unveiled a new gameplay trailer and fresh details. Here’s everything we know about Babylon’s Fall, including its release date, gameplay details, and the platforms we can expect to play it on.

Ahead of its official release, PS4 and PS5 players will be able to access a trial version of Babylon’s Fall on February 25 – a full week before the official release. All saved data will carry over to the launch version, too.

The details for the trial version aren’t known. However, Square Enix has confirmed it will not be limited to a single-player experience. That means you’ll be able to team up with a group of four friends to try it out.

Babylon’s Fall Gameplay

During E3 2021, Square Enix revealed that Babylon’s Fall will be a four-player hack-and-slash RPG. It can be played solo. However, some aspects of the game, particularly dungeons, are better suited to full parties.

Moreover, the combat revolves around players being able to switch between four equipped weapons at the same time. It also includes magic abilities, battle abilities, and more. Of course, it also has a story along the way, too.


We look forward to learning more about Babylon’s Fall and will update this as we learn more details. Until then, though, be sure to check out some of our other release hubs:
