Upcoming Astro Bot DLC Revealed
Astro Bot is set to receive new DLC featuring VIP bots that have yet to be been revealed. The game’s credits offer hints about which characters may make an appearance.
Free DLC Arriving This Year
Team Asobi’s Nicolas Doucet confirmed in an interview with Quest Daily that the free DLC will launch this year. Described as “small,” the DLC will focus on speedruns, following its success in Astro’s Playroom. The update will also include leaderboards for players to compete and compare their scores.
According to Doucet, the DLC will introduce “some characters that we didn’t include yet,” providing an element of surprise for players.
Details About the DLC
The upcoming DLC will feature challenging levels designed to test players’ skills. Additionally, the team plans to incorporate a “toy feeling” into the gameplay to appeal to a wider audience. However, Doucet expressed some uncertainty about this aspect of the update.
Potential Spoilers Ahead
While specific VIP bots have not been confirmed by Doucet, the game’s credits offer clues about potential additions. Third-party publishers have been acknowledged for the use of their characters, some of which do not currently appear in the game.
- Shift Up – Stellar Blade
- Ubisoft – Rayman, Beyond Good & Evil, Assassin’s Creed
- Koei Tecmo – Rise of the Ronin
- Argonaut Games – Croc
While Team Asobi may have licensed these characters without including them, the mention in the credits suggests they may make an appearance in some form. Concept art has also hinted at characters like Fat Princess and Sweet Tooth from Twisted Metal, although they are not currently in the game.
