Astro Bot is an excellent online game. Sony’s new platformer is full of wonderful ranges and a great deal of enjoyable moments. And Astro Bot’s solely going to get greater due to a free DLC replace that may add some characters solely talked about within the sport’s credit, too.
On September 6, Astro Bot was launched solely for PS5 and the world grew to become a greater place. Positive, the sport is full of a ton of PlayStation-branded content material that just about makes it really feel like a business disguised as a platformer, however the factor is…the sport’s actually, actually good, y’all. Nevertheless, for those who’ve already completed Astro Bot, you might need seen a couple of cameos talked about within the sport’s credit that don’t really seem anyplace. Nicely, maybe Astro Bot’s free DLC will repair that.
As noticed by GameSpot on September 9, in an interview with Quest Every day, Group Asobi’s Studio Director Nicolas Doucet confirmed that extra content material was coming.
“So we have now free DLC. So it’s going to be free. It’s going to come back this 12 months,” mentioned Doucet. “It is going to be small. It’s not going to be like a, you understand, enormous, enormous quantity, but it surely [will] be specializing in one of many options that folks loved in Astro’s Playroom...the speedruns.”
Whereas the degrees are fairly brief in Astro’s Playroom and Astro Bot in comparison with these in another platformers, Doucet mentioned folks like to optimize and minimize seconds as they play phases time and again. So this DLC will embrace that. And it’ll add “some characters we didn’t embrace but” in Astro Bot.
Who may these new cameo bots be? Nicely, we might already know, due to the sport’s credit. Don’t preserve studying if you wish to keep away from spoilers.
As reported by VGC, the top credit in Astro Bot comprise references to Murderer’s Creed, Past Good & Evil, Rayman, Croc, Worms, Stellar Blade, and Rise of the Ronin. No bots from any of those video games seem in Astro Bot, even for those who’ve performed Astro’s Playroom and picked up the bonus characters. So it appears doubtless that characters from these franchises will probably be added within the new DLC.
And for these apprehensive that the brand new DLC will probably be too centered on difficult speedrun ranges, don’t fear, Group Asobi desires so as to add some easier and extra enjoyable stuff to the platformer, too. Doucet described this further, upcoming content material as “toy-like” within the interview with Quest Every day.
