Astro Bot is arguably the most anticipated game for PlayStation players in 2024, as Team Asobi is giving the lovable character his first feature-length game that’s not a VR title.
Instead Astro Bot is a 3D platformer that expands on what Team Asobi did for the tech demo that was Astro’s Playroom, a game bundled in with every PS5 console that still manages to delight players years after it released.
Now, thanks to A9VG capturing new footage of the game at this past weekends ChinaJoy event, we have new gameplay to check out ahead of the September 6, 2024 release date.
In the 8min+ of footage, we get a quick look at a world map before Astro jumps into a level which culminates in a boss fight with a giant octopus.
Then it jumps back to the world map before Astro heads into a level that looks to be a speedrunning challenge, where your goal is to save a classic PlayStation character. In this case, that’s Jak from Naughty Dog’s iconic series.
You can check out the new footage for yourself here.
