Am teased PlayStation State of Play last month, AstroBot will receive five new speedrunning challenge levels starting October 17th. After that, each new level will be released the following week. Here is the full schedule:
- Oct. 24: Let it Slide
- Oct. 31: Spring-loaded run
- November 7: Helium Heights
- November 14th: Rising heat
They will go live every Thursday morning at 9:00 a.m. ET. Each level features two new bots to rescue, including ones inspired by them Starblade And Helldivers 2. But the real treat is an online leaderboard with recorded times so players can test their skills against both friends and internet fans.
Everyone who played AstroBot had the feeling of mastery that comes from learning a complicated obstacle course and then completing it with ease. Now we can all find out how bad we are at the game compared to everyone else. Does that sound like fun? I promise it’s my new viewing date for this week, at least until then White lotus
It will be interesting to see what other bots are hiding in some of the later free DLC levels. While there are references to Assassin’s Creed and other major franchises in Astro Bots’ end credits, there are notable absences from the base game include everyone Final Fantasy or Kingdom Hearts bots. It sounded like Team Asobi just couldn’t get it right with Square Enix.
