Astro Botcreative director Nicolas Doucet has confirmed that the game will be receiving free DLC that might just feature a new batch of VIP Bots that were spotted in the credits, but not currently seen in the base game.
The news comes by way of an interview with Doucet fromYouTubechannelQuest Daily. The director says that the DLC additions will be free, arriving this year, and will add new speedrun levels and stages that provide a higher challenge, alongside all-new leader boards.
Arguably most interesting is that Doucet says the DLC will add new collectible VIP Bots, and that they will be “some characters that we didn’t include yet.” A look atAstro Bot’scredits - as highlighted byVGC- shows a number of games and series credited that don’t appear in the base game.
Look away now if you don’t want to be spoiled, but these additional franchises are as follows:
Astro Botdoes its absolute best to pay homage to PlayStation’s legendary back catalog - I certainly wasn’t expecting deeper cuts likeDevil Dice, Incredible CrisisandIntelligent Qube -but there are some notable omissions likeFinal FantasyandTwisted Metalthat currently haven’t made the cut despite having appearances in earlier titles likeAstro’s Playroom.
It’s unclear just how long of a roadmapAstro Bothas in terms of post-launch content currently. But as it’s handily one of the highest rated games of the year, it’s easy to see Team Asobi providing new updates so long as there is interest from the player base.
