The game is being developed by Sproing in Vienna, which has many years of experience in the development of international productions, and has created major hits in the browser-based game space, including SkyRama, a massively popular management game.

"To develop an interactive adventure with such a legendary brand is an exciting challenge for us," explains Marko Hein, Vice President Games at Deutsche Telekom. "We are working hard so that we will soon be able to offer devoted fans a unique experience and breathe new 'interactive' life into Astérix.
