Surprise! Astro Bot Got a New Level Today, With Four More to Come

Team
Asobi
has
announced
that
they
are
adding
five
more
levels
to
their
cutesy
platformer

Astro
Bot,
and
the
first
is
out
right
now.
Why
didn’t
they
show
these
off
at
yesterday’s
State
of
Play?
I
have
no
idea.

The
first
of
the
5
planned
levels
was
actually
spotted
at

PlayStation
XP
Tournament
Final
in
London,
England
on
January
18
and
it’s
the
very
same
level
that
you
can
go
and
download
today.
That
level
and
next
four
can
all
be
found
inside
the
new
Vicious
Void
Galaxy
in
Astro
Bot.

As
the
name
hints
at,
these
new
levels
are
designed
to
be
a
bit
more
challenging.

PlayStation’s
cutest
character
is
back
and
this
time
he’s
starring
in
his
very
own
triple-A
blockbuster
release.
Incredibly
fun,
absolutely
beautiful
and
filled
with
charm,
Astro
Bot
is
in
strong
contention
for
Game
of
the
Year.

“Unlike
our
last
update
Winter
Wonder,
which
was
a
walk
through
the
Xmas
park,
this
new
update
features
harder
levels
to
test
your
jumping
skills,”

writes
Nicolas
Doucet,
Studio
Director
at
Asobi.
“Each
level
comes
with
a
brand-new
Special
Bot
to
rescue
and,
once
that’s
done,
can
be
replayed
in
Time
Attack
mode
with
online
rankings.
To
access
these,
you
will
need
to
have
completed
the
main
game.
So
sharpen
those
skills
again
and
let’s
get
rescuing.”

But
that’s
not
all,
as
Doucet
wrapped
up
the
post
by
saying
that
a
PS5
Pro
enhanced
patch
is
coming
for
Astro
Bot,
promising
a
“constant
best
resolution
while
running
at
60
frames
per
second.”
