Babylon’s Fall wasn’t enough, huh?
Over the past few years, Babylon’s Fall developer PlatinumGames and April Fools pranks have gone hand in hand. Just searching the two terms in our internal database brings up a whole list of previous jokes. And, not to be outdone by past attempts, the Japanese team has today put together a small presentation where it «announces» nine new games. A 10th title is included, but that’s Sol Cresta, which is actually real and has already been released on PlayStation 4.
The games are:
All nine titles are pitched under the «Neo-Classic Arcade» banner, which is said to carry «on the spirit and fun of classic gaming using modern technology». Given PlatinumGames’ track record, we wouldn’t be surprised if one or two of these titles were actually real — Sol Cresta also started out life as an April Fools joke, after all. But will they be any good? Recent projects would suggest not. Babylon’s Fall, we’re looking at you. At least Hideki Kamiya gets to have some fun in the video embedded above.
This tongue in cheek skit from PlatinumGames is all just a bit of light entertainment, but remember: don’t believe everything you read on the internet for the next 24 hours. Unless we here at Push Square post about it, of course.

Liam Croft
Liam grew up with a PlayStation controller in his hands and a love for Metal Gear Solid. Nowadays, he can be found playing the latest and greatest PS5 games as well as supporting Derby County. That last detail is his downfall.

maybe Babylon’s Fall was an early April’s Fool?

Fingers crossed Dynamite Sexy Puzzle Game turns out to be real! There aren’t enough sexy puzzle games if you ask me.

The best/worst April fools joke was that Yakuza 7 would be using turn-based combat. I was really relieved to realize that it was an April fools, then they decided that it wasn’t ;~

Ouch.
My sides hurt so much.
These guys.
Really “funny”
Must be such a laugh in their offices.
Seriously though if they worked on the games and not being “hilarious” we might have something to play.

People still do this sort of thing????
I honestly thought April fools had been left in the past, maybe its my age but hey ho.
I just wanted to whine tbh, I’m laid up for the next year due to surgery so I need somewhere to talk.

«…but remember: don’t believe everything you read on the internet for the next 24 hours. Unless we here at Push Square post about it, of course.»
And yet you just posted this story, which is all about a big lie.
What am I supposed to believe now?!

@Stocksy Such a really dumb take.
Apfelschteiner
Sony should announce that they acquired Xbox Studios. It would be childish, but also the best troll ever.

@rachetmarvel what rubbish April fools jokes….. yes. Yes they are.
Ultrasmiles

UltimateOtaku91
Would of been a better joke if they said babylons fall has been a success
SpaceDonkey
Someone just posted me tweet about gamepass being on playstation. Nice try.
RBMango
The only good April Fools Day jokes from the industry were Yakuza 7 being turn-based and that Legend of Zelda movie trailer from IGN when I was in middle school.
RubyCarbuncle
Yeah these guys stopped being funny a long time ago. Just get on with Bayonetta 3 already or at least give us an idea on what’s going on.
RubyCarbuncle
@rachetmarvel Not really he makes a valid point.
KidBoruto
This is kinda bizarre but not really funny…
Lup
I always forget about April’s Fool since in my country it’s in another month and no one really cares about it
