Astro Bot Getting Free DLC, May Include Missing Cameos

Astro bot is a very good video game. Sony’s new platformer is packed with awesome levels and tons of fun moments. And Astro botis only getting bigger thanks to a free DLC update that may also add a number of characters only mentioned in the game’s credits.

On September 6, Astro bot was released exclusively for PS5 and the world became a better place. Sure, the game is loaded with a ton of PlayStation-branded content that almost feels like an advertisement disguised as a platformer, but the thing is… the game is actually really good, people. However, if you’re already done Astro botHave you noticed a few cameos mentioned in the game’s credits that don’t actually appear anywhere? Well, maybe Astro botThe free DLC fixes that.

As noted by GameSpot on September 9thin an interview with Daily questTeam Asobi Studio Director Nicolas Doucet confirmed that more content would be coming.

“So we have free DLC. So it will be free. It’s coming this year,” Doucet said. “It’s going to be small. It’s not going to be a, you know, huge, huge amount, but it (will) focus on one of the features that people enjoyed in Astro’s playroom...the speedruns.”

Although the levels are quite short in Astro’s playroom And Astro bot Compared to other platformers, Doucet said people like to optimize and trim seconds as they play levels over and over again. So this DLC will embrace that. And it will add “some characters that we haven’t added yet” in Astrobot.

Who could these new cameo bots be? Well, we might already know, thanks to the game’s credits. Don’t read on if you want to avoid spoilers.

As reported by VGCthe credits in Astro bot contain references to Assassin’s Creed, Beyond Good & Evil, Rayman, Croc, Worms, Stellar Blade, And Rise of the Ronin. No bots from any of these games will appear in Astrobot, even if you have played Astro’s playroom and picked up the bonus characters. So it looks like characters from these franchises will be added in the new DLC.

And for those worried that the new DLC will focus too much on challenging speedrun levels, don’t worry, Team Asobi is also looking to add some less difficult and more fun stuff to the platformer. Doucet described this additional, upcoming content as “toy-like” in the interview with Daily quest.
