One of the best surprises from Sony’s State of Play presentation today was the announcement of a new Astro Bot Game. Astro’s PlayroomThe pack-in game that was installed on PlayStation 5s in 2020 was a delightful platform game that honored PlayStation’s history, the technology of DualSense controllerand it was fun to play. Now we get another one from Team Asobi, which is simply titled: Astro Bot
The game leaked earlier this monthand many of the details from the leak turned out to be true. Astro Bot includes a Fennec robot character that accompanies Astro as he travels through various environments. Astro also flies around on a DualSense controller at some point, so I’m assuming he’s probably controlled via motion controls. Oh, there’s also a PlayStation 5 spaceship. Wait, Kratos just gave Astro his axe? Oh, it looks like he’s teaming up with a bunch of different PlayStation characters. This shit is awesome. Game of the Year contender, you heard that here first. Unlike Astro’s Playroom
