The recent announcement of Astro Bot has been met with plenty of excitement, and though all eyes are currently on the series’ first ever full fledged console instalment, its last outing has received a surprise new content drop as well.
Sony has pushed a new update for Astro’s Playroom, the free game that is packed in with every PS5 console, which has added new content and Trophies to the game. Where the former is concerned, a message shown upon booting up the game will direct players to “a mysterious portal” that has appeared “in the center of the PS LABO”, which is related to Astro’s upcoming adventure in Astro Bot. New gachas have also been made available.
Meanwhile, the aforementioned new Bronze Trophies are unlocked by finding and rescuing Special Bots in each of the game’s four main areas, with a Silver Trophy being awarded upon finding all four. This, too, is tied to the upcoming Astro Bot.
Developer Team Asobi has described Astro Bot as a “really, really big game”. It will feature over 80 levels, more than 15 new abilities, upwards of 70 new enemy types, and no microtransactions. It launches on September 6 for PS5, and will be sold at a price of $60. Pre-orders are live now, with a digital deluxe edition also available for $70.
