Any PlayStation 5 owner will remember the Astro Bot game that came with their brand new console that showcased the new DualSense 5 in all its glory. With PlayStation’s recent showcase, it looks like Astro Bot is ready to take its place among PlayStation’s all-time greats.

The newly titled Astro Bot has garnered positive attention with a lot of excitement for its bevy of animated robots that are tongue-in-cheek references to the best of PlayStation’s games over the years. 

Astro Bot Is a Space-Faring Trek Through PlayStation History

The original Astro’s Playroom on the PS5 was memorable for its Easter eggs and cameos from a host of beloved PlayStation franchises. There was even a Hunter Bot swinging a Saw Cleaver from the beloved FromSoftware title Bloodborne hanging around.

The new Astro Bot title builds on this scope with over 150 cameo appearances that you can reach with your new Dual Speeder and many new mechanics that are sure to bring your DualSense controllers to life in new ways.

Team Asobi’s Finest Work to Date

Astro Bot’s new Bots being spread across multiple galaxies aside, it isn’t a free title but is a separate purchase exclusively on PlayStation 5. Its new scope and console exclusivity are certain to make this new offering from Team Asobi take its place among the many fine studios that have contributed to generations of console sales for the gaming giant.

It’s fitting that the game is set to be four times the size of the original 3D action platformer and a standalone single-player experience, demonstrating the faith that Team Asobi has in a game that has been four years in the making. What’s more, you get to experience all that it has to offer without additional purchases.

With exploration across a variety of locations presenting new enemies and bosses to take on with a brand new set of abilities, this could be among the finest tributes to years of PlayStation’s greatest hits while standing out enough on its own to take its place at their side. And with an alien rival of Astro’s set to make an appearance, the game’s story is sure to take many welcome turns through time as Astro Bot rescues his buddies across galaxies.

It’s an exciting time to be a fan of Astro Bot’s charming take on the PlayStation universe. Astro Bot may well be one of the many special titles in Sony’s new approach to console exclusivity. We’re excited to try it out – and hoping a Bloodborne Bot finds its way into the game somehow!
