In a recent video interview, game director Nicolas Doucet at Team ASOBI announced that Astro Bot will receive free DLC later this year. The DLC will add new speedruns with leaderboards and new VIP bots and some characters that weren’t previously included will appear.
“Yes, so we have free [downloadable content]—so it’s going to be free,” Doucet said. “It’s going to come this year. It will be smaller. You know it’s not going to be like, you know, a huge, huge amount, but it will be focusing on one of the features that people enjoyed in ASTRO’s PLAYROOM—that was the speedruns. You know, there were some speedruns, and the levels were quite short, but it was the fact that you could replay and keep shaving time off… with some new VIP bots to rescue, so some characters we didn’t include yet will appear. But yeah, that’s going to come, and that’s going to focus really on kind-of challenging levels. But if we can, we’d like to also insert something a bit toy-feeling, something that could be really like for any player. But we’re not too sure about that one. But the challenging stuff is definitely coming.” ASTRO BOT is available now for PlayStation 5.
