Astro Bot, Sony’s new platformer exclusive for the PS5, has taken the gaming world by storm since its release on September 6. Filled with amazing levels and fun moments, the game has garnered praise from players and critics alike. However, some eagle-eyed players have noticed that there are references to certain cameo characters in the game’s credits that don’t actually make an appearance in the game. This has sparked speculation that an upcoming free DLC update for Astro Bot could finally bring these missing characters to life.
Exciting Free DLC Update
In an interview with Quest Daily, Team Asobi’s Studio Director Nicolas Doucet confirmed that a free DLC update is in the works for Astro Bot. Doucet revealed that the DLC will focus on one of the features that players enjoyed in Astro’s Playroom – the speedruns. While the levels in Astro’s Playroom and Astro Bot may be shorter compared to other platformers, players have embraced the challenge of optimizing their runs and cutting seconds off their times. The upcoming DLC will cater to this desire for speedrunning and will introduce new characters that were mentioned in the game’s credits but were absent from the game itself.
Potential New Cameo Characters
The end credits of Astro Bot contain references to popular franchises such as Assassin’s Creed, Beyond Good & Evil, Rayman, Croc, Worms, Stellar Blade, and Rise of the Ronin. Despite these mentions, none of the characters from these franchises appear in the game. This has led to speculation that the new DLC update could finally introduce these missing cameo characters to Astro Bot. Fans of these beloved franchises will undoubtedly be excited at the prospect of seeing their favorite characters make an appearance in the game.
Expanding the Gameplay Experience
While the focus of the DLC update will be on challenging speedrun levels, Team Asobi is also keen on adding some lighter and more fun content to the platformer. Doucet described this additional content as “toy-like” in the interview, hinting at a more playful and whimsical experience for players. This balance of challenging speedrun levels and fun, lighthearted content will ensure that players of all skill levels can enjoy the new DLC update for Astro Bot.
As players eagerly await the release of the free DLC update for Astro Bot, the anticipation continues to grow. With the promise of new characters, challenging speedrun levels, and fun, toy-like content, the update is shaping up to be a must-play for fans of the game. Stay tuned for more information on the release date and additional details about the upcoming DLC for Astro Bot.
