Team Asobi Confirms Free Astro Bot DLC Is On The Way

Astro Bot’s incredible critical reception has left every enthusiast stunned, and players now want more of what is going to be the standout PlayStation mascot for the foreseeable.

Delivering on that, Nicolas Doucet, Head of Team Asobi, revealed his plans for bringing more content to the game soon enough in an interview with Quest Daily.

Doucet stated in the interview that the studio plans to release a free DLC for Astro Bot later this year. He further disclosed that they plan to keep the DLC run-through short and challenging, even introducing a few bots and avatars that were not present in the main game.

Fortunately, we already know a bit about the unseen characters thanks to the game’s end credits tease. In the last part, players were able to observe a mention of a few franchises that we did not get to see at all, includingAssassin’s Creed, Stellar Blade, and more.

It was also revealed that the now confirmed DLC will bring more challenging levels for players to complete, something which Speedrunners are going to love, according to Nicolas Doucet.

Astro Bot’s journey began with its first appearance in Astro Bot Rescue Mission, which further received a sequel called Astro’s Playroom, a pre-installed demo game which allowed PlayStation 5 users to get familiar with their new Dualsense controllers.

Astro Bot’s return came at just the right time to pull Sony out of the deep hole called Concord the studio dug for itself after an embarrassing run-time of just 11 days.

Compared to years of development and over $200 Million spent on the now shut-down live-service game, the latest platformer title that now stands as a solid candidate for Game of The Year award was developed by a team of nearly 60 members and less than half the development time.

The Astro Bot adventure lets the player clear different levels and rescue other bots while battling unique bosses and witnessing nostalgic elements from the PlayStation’s long-living legacy.
