Astro Bot Receives Free Holiday-Themed Level Update Tomorrow

This week, fans of the popular 3D platformer Astro Bot have something new to celebrate as Team Asobi introduces a delightful holiday-themed level called “Winter Wonder.” Gamers who’ve completed the game can dive into this fresh content on Thursday evening, adding a festive twist to their Astro Bot adventure.

While Team Asobi has kept many details of this update under wraps, they’ve teased on a PlayStation blog post that players can look forward to a level brimming with fun. Expect shiny presents, a sprinkle of jingle bells, and the introduction of some exciting new special bots. Designed with both children and adults in mind, this level promises to be free of any overly frustrating challenges.

Team Asobi has a reputation for excellence, often serving as Sony’s preferred choice for tech demos. Their past projects include Astro’s Playroom, a standout title that debuted with the PlayStation 5 to showcase the console’s potential, and Astro Bot Rescue Mission, which highlighted the capabilities of the PlayStation VR headset.

The decision to add this new level is a way for the team to express gratitude for the enthusiastic support from both fans and critics. As mentioned in a heartfelt message on the PlayStation blog, the team has been overwhelmed by the positive feedback since Astro Bot’s release on the PlayStation 5 earlier this year.

Nicolas Doucet, the studio director at Team Asobi, shared his appreciation: “Since releasing Astro Bot earlier this year, we’ve been showered with wonderful comments from you and the PlayStation community. We’re thrilled with the global critical acclaim the game has received. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you so much for expressing your appreciation. It truly means a lot to us.”
