Astro Bot will receive free DLC this year adding speedruns and more

Sony Interactive Entertainment and Team Asobi are planning to release free DLC for Astro Bot in 2024. The free content will bring speedruns and new VIP bots to the game, said Nicolas Doucet in a video interview with Quest Daily.

Here is what Nicolas Doucet said in the interview (Thanks Gematsu):

“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.”

In Astro Bot’s credits it mentions several games that have yet to be featured such as Assassin’s Creed, Stellar Blade, and Rayman. There’s no question there will be a lot of new updates coming to Astro Bot in the future.
