Ubisoft announced that it will develop a video game based on the adventures of the legendary Asterix cartoon, featuring a two player mode, 4 different locations and 20 mini-games where players will need to protect their village from the Romans.

This new title will be based on the original storyline of the famous series of comic strips, “The Adventures of Asterix.” Gamers will be able to relive the adventures of Asterix and his band of invincible Gauls, taking the role of one of their favorite characters in 20 mini-games. Four different locations will be available: the village, the forest, the Roman camp, and the seaside, each counting five mini-games where players will need to protect their village from the Romans.

Asterix will include a two player mode and is sure to be a hit with every fan of the beloved comic book hero.

Created specifically for the NDS, the game will be released across EMEA territories in October 2009.
