Astro Bot’s getting a free DLC replace this yr

The DLC replace will add new maps geared towards speedrunning challenges, leaderboards, and naturally, new PlayStation-themed bots to rescue. Nonetheless, don’t anticipate one thing the scale of Elden Ring’s Shadow of the Erdtree — Doucet says the DLC “isn’t going to be that vast.”

The DLC’s further problem ranges ought to undoubtedly attraction to gamers who loved Astro Bot however wanted one thing extra demanding. Although the vast majority of Astro Bot isn’t that tough, its problem ranges undoubtedly required fairly a bit extra talent, with each gauntlets that require fixed motion and puzzle-style ranges that want a extra cerebral method. I’m already excited by the prospect of speedrunners getting their arms on this sport, and extra ranges particularly tailor-made to that group ought to assist.

My try at one of many simpler Astro Bot problem ranges.

Eager-eyed gamers already seen that some video games like Rayman, Stellar Blade, and Croc had been alled out in Astro Bot’s credit although they weren’t instantly referenced within the sport. So anticipate to see characters from these video games because the DLC’s new bots. I’m additionally pulling for a Closing Fantasy-themed bot as a result of it simply feels proper, y’know.

The Astro Bot DLC doesn’t have a agency launch date, however Doucet says it’ll come someday this yr. I can’t wait.
