Here's why we're so incredibly excited for Sony's upcoming platformer.
The last special bot arrives next month to commemorate the worldwide launch of Astro Bot on September 6th for PlayStation 5.
Launching on September 6th alongside the title, the controller retails for $79.99 and stylistically resembles the intrepid hero.
New gameplay from the upcoming platformer has emerged courtesy of the ChinaJoy 2024 event.
Creative director Nicolas Doucet says the platformer "can be a lot prettier, and have a lot more physics and things" than Astro's Playroom.
Team Asobi "never said it absolutely has to be 20 to 30 hours" and wants a game "in which the tempo is constant throughout."
Team Asobi ultimately settled on a level-based structure "because that was the one that gave us the most control over the game's variety."
Selene joins Team Asobi's platformer. Two more Bots arrive in August and September, carrying over into the upcoming Astro Bot.
The year 2024 is far from over, and here's a list of 30 of the biggest games that will be releasing in the coming months.
Team Asobi and Sony have previously touted the upcoming platformer as Astro's biggest adventure to date.
"As long as the core elements and qualities of the game are great, then I think anything is possible," says creative director and studio head Nicolas Doucet.
"It's just a celebration of the whole PlayStation history," said Team Asobi head Nicolas Doucet regarding the Yharnam Hunter outfit.
"It was a decision to expand on the world of Astro's Playroom and bring Astro to the big stage," says creative director Nicolas Doucet.
Two Hard stages are themed on the iconic PlayStation face buttons and promise to challenge experienced platforming fans.
Team Asobi studio head Nicolas Doucet says the DLC will encompass new, shorter, and more challenging platforming levels, among other things.
The free update has added new content tied to the upcoming Astro Bot, as well as Special Bots to rescue and new gachas.
As opposed to several other first-party PlayStation titles that cost $70, Astro Bot's standard edition will cost $60.
The latter includes early unlocks for Bloodborne and Golden outfits, two Dual Speeder paint colors, the official soundtrack and more.
Like Astro's Playroom, players can gather coins in-game and spend them on the Gatcha Lab, though its contents are unknown.
Here's everything you should know about Astro's upcoming big adventure.
