Following rumours that it would happen, Astro Bot’s next adventure was finally revealed at the State Of Play May 2024.
The latest title from Team Asobi will be a whole new adventure for PlayStation’s new robotic mascot, simply titled ‘Astro Bot‘ and what’s more will release for PS5 on September 6, 2024. No PSVR 2 version of Astro Bot was announced.
It looks to be more of a sequel to the 2020 PS5 launch and console tie-in game Astro’s Playroom showcasing some supremely gorgeous three-dimensional platforming across a range of worlds that are informed by PlayStation Studios and other IP. Indeed, the trailer shows off Astro Bot going to worlds inspired by God of War: Ragnarok, Journey, Parappa The Rappa, Shadow of the Colossus and many more besides.
In short, Astro Bot was by far and away the star of May’s State of Play briefing and it isn’t even close.
