Publisher Sony Interactive Entertainment and developer Team Asobi have announced the ASTRO BOT free DLC adding 5 new speedrun levels and 10 new Special Bots will launch this fall.
Here’s a rundown on the new content, plus a trailer:
Before anything, we wanted to take a minute to thank everyone of you for the huge love and positive comments we received following the game’s release on September 6. We could not possibly be happier with the reception and the little robots at Team Asobi almost short-circuited from so many tears of joy!
We also laughed a lot at the many funny videos of the game that we saw popping up. We are glad we could succeed in bringing a little bit of digital sunshine to homes around the world. For all your support, trust, and kindness and from all of us at Team Asobi, doumo arigatou gozaimasu (thank you very much)!
Today, we have a little surprise for you! From this fall, we’re happy to announce that Astro Bot will receive 5 brand new speedrun levels, at no additional cost. Check out our new teaser trailer below for a sneak peek at what’s in store. Many of you asked for the return of speedrun levels so we hope you enjoy those. Time to sharpen those jumping skills and shave milli-seconds at every turn!
To go alongside these extra levels, there will be 10 new Special Bots for you to rescue. These are obtained by beating cheeky birds racing against Astro. We’re super happy to welcome the Helldivers squad who will bring super democracy to the crash site as well as Eve from slick and delightful PS5 hit Stellar Blade! You’ll have to find out who the other ones are!
And of course, there will be leaderboards so that you can compete online with the whole community or with close PlayStation friends.
To wrap this up, let us say that having a chance to create a fun, colorful platformer that pays tribute to 30 years of Playstation legacy has been an incredible privilege, one that all members of Team Asobi take very much at heart. Thank you for embarking with us on Astro’s great new adventure!
ASTRO BOT has been available since September 6th for PlayStation 5. Check out our review here!
