Babylon's Fall has travelled a bit of a bumpy road up until this point. The action RPG was first announced with a brief teaser trailer that certainly caught the eye — especially with Platinum Games involved — but following a lacklustre gameplay reveal months later, it's fair to say that the title has struggled to maintain any momentum.
Recent beta tests have proven to be somewhat divisive as well — but we're still willing to give the final product a chance when it launches on the 3rd March. And it will hit that release date, it seems, since Babylon's Fall has just gone gold.
For those totally out of the loop on this one, Babylon's Fall is a fantasy-themed, co-op focused action title with RPG elements, like loot and skill trees. Your combat style is based on the weapon that you use, as well as the skills and abilities that you unlock and equip. There's a lot of beta gameplay on YouTube, if you fancy seeing it in motion.
Are you looking forward to Babylon's Fall, or does it feel like a project that's never really got going? Hope that it delivers in the comments section below.

I'm still not convinced by this one.
It's on my watch list, but the end February is busy enough already. I'll get this in a sale over the summer perhaps, but definitely not on March 3rd.
Its platinum games..will probably be a sleeper hit..i'll find out at some point in the year..
Not interested in these coop focused games. I would have a second look if it were a single player story driven RPG which it’s not. From what I’ve seen they would do better to delay to polish, market the game better and pick a better release date that doesn’t conflict with so many releases in Feb and March on both PS and Pc.
God this looked rubbish in the gameplay we saw. Platinum seem to go crap/good/crap/good with their releases so it probably means it’s time to get excited for Bayo 3!
If I didn't already know how great platinum games are I wouldn't be interested in what they've shown so far but I'll be playing it on day 1. I even bought switch a few months ago just to play bayonetta 3 this year.
The always online requirement put me off the title.
Cue its 2022 who doesnt have internet these days.......it just puts me off when you dont know when servers are going to stay up for and when you have internet like mine (sporadic at peak hours)
@nessisonett True that. That's platinum cycle. I don't even know why they went with this instead of a nier game. They even said that game saved them.
If it’s gone gold, all the bugs better be worked out. No day one patch!
On my GameFly rental list. It is Platinum so I need to try it for myself.
Gone gold this early?! Yikes! I was in the alpha; the game needs some serious work, especially to the combat.
@Burntbreadman @Scarla88 Agreed hard pass on this game since there's a major focus on co-op.
Hopefully this means Bayonetta 3 will be epic like @nessisonett is suggesting.
So it's this online only or single player?
Is this a exclusive? Probably wait for PC release. Most of these weapon stylegames just feel better on M&K
I want to be excited but if its just some dauntless/monster hunter wannabe then ill pass
Oh my gosh MARCH? That's way too soon, this game's gonna bomb hard. Love you Platinum, please live long enough to give us Bayonetta 3, and 4 and a million more!
