Astro Bot cannot halt winning — whether it beryllium the hearts of fans and critics oregon racking up immoderate of the highest review scores of a crippled this year. Now the crippled volition proceed its well-earned triumph thigh with the quality that it’s getting DLC...for free...this year. Astro Bot director and Team Asobi workplace caput Nicolas Doucet confirmed the quality in an interrogation with Australian outlet Quest Daily.
The DLC update volition adhd caller maps geared toward speedrunning challenges, leaderboards, and of course, caller PlayStation-themed bots to rescue. However, don’t expect thing the size of Elden Ring’s Shadow of the Erdtree — Doucet says the DLC “isn’t going to beryllium that huge.”
The DLC’s further situation levels should decidedly entreaty to players who enjoyed Astro Bot but needed thing much demanding. Though the bulk of Astro Bot isn’t that difficult, its situation levels decidedly required rather a spot much skill, with some gauntlets that necessitate changeless question and puzzle-style levels that request a much cerebral approach. I’m already excited by the imaginable of speedrunners getting their hands connected this game, and further levels specifically tailored to that assemblage should help.
My effort astatine 1 of the easier Astro Bot situation levels.
Keen-eyed players already noticed that immoderate games similar Rayman, Stellar Blade, and Croc were alled retired successful Astro Bot’s credits adjacent though they weren’t straight referenced successful the game. So expect to spot characters from those games arsenic the DLC’s caller bots. I’m besides pulling for a Final Fantasy-themed bot due to the fact that it conscionable feels right, y’know.
The Astro Bot DLC doesn’t person a steadfast merchandise date, but Doucet says it’ll travel sometime this year. I cannot wait.
