Greetings, everyone! It’s an absolute joy to connect with you as we kick off 2025. On behalf of everyone at Team Asobi, we’re wishing you a fantastic year ahead.
Reflecting on last year, the release of Astro Bot was a monumental moment for us. The game not only earned several awards, but the feedback from you, our players, has been overwhelmingly positive and heartwarming. Your support has truly made all the hard work worthwhile. So, from the bottom of our little robotic hearts, a massive thank you!
One person who’s clearly having a blast with Astro Bot is none other than Finn Wolfhard, who’s been featured in a delightful new video with Astro.
Now, let’s dive into some exciting news! As we start this year on a high note, we’re thrilled to announce fresh Astro Bot content rolling out today. Some of you might have caught a glimpse of an unreleased Astro Bot level during the PlayStation XP Tournament Final in London on January 18. Well, that very level, plus four more, are set to launch today in the innovative Vicious Void Galaxy.
This update is our gift to you and, of course, it comes at no extra charge. Here’s a quick look at when you can expect these exciting new levels:
– Feb 13: Tick-Tock Shock
– Feb 20: Thrust or Bust
– Feb 27: Cock-A-Doodle-Doom
– Mar 6: Hard to Bear
– Mar 13: Armored Hardcore
Please note that these updates will be available every Thursday from February 13 through March 13 at 6:00 am PT, 2:00 pm GMT, and 10:00 pm JST.
Compared to our previous Winter Wonder update, which had a festive feel, this round brings more challenging levels designed to put your jumping skills to the test. Each level introduces a brand-new Special Bot to rescue. After saving them, you can replay in Time Attack mode and compete in online rankings. But remember, you’ll need to have finished the main game first—so get ready to hone those skills again!
But wait, there’s even more good news! Players on the PS5 Pro will enjoy Astro Bot at its best with an enhanced resolution, all while maintaining a smooth 60 frames per second.
That wraps up this update. We hope you love what we’ve got in store. Thank you once again for being such a supportive community. Astro’s welcome into so many homes has been incredible, and your positive feedback fuels our passion. Here’s to many more adventures together!
Team Asobi signing off.
