Astro Bot speedrun DLC will add 5 new levels and 10 cameo bots
The DLC is coming this fall
PlayStation and Team Asobi have announced that Astro Bot‘s free speedrun DLC will be released later this year.
The DLC will consist of 5 new online speedrun levels. Speaking on the PlayStation Blog, director Nicolas Doucet said”Many of you asked for the return of speedrun levels so we hope you enjoy those. Time to sharpen those jumping skills and shave milli-seconds at every turn,”
10 new cameo bots will also be included in the DLC, including bots based on Helldivers and Stellar Blade.
“To go alongside these extra levels, there will be 10 new Special Bots for you to rescue. These are obtained by beating cheeky birds racing against Astro. We’re super happy to welcome the Helldivers squad who will bring super democracy to the crash site as well as Eve from slick and delightful PS5 hit Stellar Blade! You’ll have to find out who the other ones are!”
No specific release information for the DLC was provided.
Astro Bot has been critically acclaimed, earning it a score of 94 on the review aggregation site Metacritic. VGC’s Astro Bot review called it “the best 3D platformer in a decade”.
VGC recently got the chance to visit the studio behind Astro Bot, Team Asobi, for an inside look at the development of the game, and the history of the franchise.
