Free Astro Bot DLC coming in 2024

Team ASOBI and Sony delivered one of the most well-regarded releases of 2024 with Astro Bot, their platformer celebrating all things PlayStation – and the festivities are far from over: Astro Bot game director Nicolas Doucet told the YouTube channel Quest Daily that the developer plans on releasing free DLC for the game later this year. He said that it won’t be a “huge” update, “but it will be focusing on one of the features that people enjoyed in Astro’s Playroom – that was the speedruns.” This focus will express itself in the form of challenging levels as well as leaderboards, so that players can compare their times with other users. In addition, Team ASOBI wants to add more VIP bots to the game, “so some characters we didn’t include yet will appear.” The Astro Bot credits may contains some hints on which characters could appear in bot form, as they mention some IPs that currently don’t have any content in the game – namely Assassin’s Creed, Croc: Legend of the Gobbos, Beyond Good & Evil, Rayman, Rise
