Team Asobi Confirms Free Astro Bot DLC Is On The Way

Key Takeaways

  • Head of Team Asobi has revealed that Astro Bot will be soon getting a Free DLC.
  • Content of DLC were partially teased in the end-credits of the main game, providing exciting content.
  • The new Astro Bot game rescues Sony from a recent failure and is a GOTY contender.

As a seasoned gamer with decades of gaming under my belt, I can confidently say that Astro Bot has stolen my heart and become one of the most exciting additions to the PlayStation family. The announcement of a free DLC for this charming platformer is music to my ears!


The exceptional critical acclaim that Astro Bot has received has left gaming enthusiasts speechless, as players are now clamoring for even more content, with hopes that it will become the defining PlayStation character for the near future.

According to an interview with Quest Daily, Nicolas Doucet, who leads Team Asobi, shared his intentions to add new content to the game in a timely manner.

In an interview, Doucet revealed that their studio intends to launch a complimentary expansion pack for Astro Bot, expected later this year. He also shared that they aim to make the DLC engaging yet difficult, potentially incorporating characters like bots and avatars not previously seen in the primary game.

Lucky for me, I’ve picked up a hint or two about the enigmatic characters from the game’s closing credits. In the final act, I managed to catch a glimpse of references to several series that we didn’t get to explore at all, such as Assassin’s Creed and Stellar Blade, among others.

It was also revealed that the now confirmed DLC will bring more challenging levels for players to complete, something which Speedrunners are going to love, according to Nicolas Doucet.

The adventure of Astro Bot commenced when it made its debut in the game, Astro Bot Rescue Mission. This initial release was subsequently followed by a sequel titled Astro’s Playroom. Remarkably, this sequel served as a pre-installed demo game for users of the PlayStation 5, offering them an opportunity to familiarize themselves with their new Dualsense controllers.

As a dedicated gamer, it felt fantastic to dive back into the captivating world of Astro Bot at precisely the moment when it seemed like Sony was in a tough spot, having stumbled into a rut they’d dubbed Concord. It appeared their recent lineup had left them gasping for breath after an underwhelming 11-day run. But with Astro Bot’s return, I could sense a renewed energy and excitement in the gaming community once again!

In contrast to the years of work and over $200 Million invested in the recently closed live-service game, the new platformer game that is now a strong contender for Game of The Year has been developed by approximately 60 team members within less than half the usual development time.

In the exciting journey of Astro Bot, players navigate through various stages, helping to save other robots and facing off against distinct bosses. Along the way, they also get to appreciate reminiscent aspects from the enduring history of the PlayStation.
