Today’s Square Enix Presents Summer Showcase E3 2021 live stream finally shows off PlatinumGames‘s Babylon’s Fall. Coming to PS5, PS4, and PC via Steam, it is a hack-and-slash made for a four-player co-op multiplayer experience but you will be able to beat it alone if you want to. Designed as a “live service title” from the start, it will feature a range of post-launch game modes at no additional cost. The game was first announced back in June 2018.
