A new Astro Bot game has been announced for the PS5 in the PlayStation State of Play broadcast, which took place last night. In the first appearance since launch of the PS5, Astro is back with a super-sized space adventure.
In this brand-new game, you will explore 6 galaxies and over 80 levels in search of Astro’s scattered crew. To get help on his mission, Astro can use over 15 new abilities offering unique play styles. As you would expect from an Astro game, these take full advantage of the DualSense controller, its haptic feedback and adaptive triggers so you can feel every little step along the journey.
Among the many new powers, you will find:
- Barkster, the Bulldog Booster that lets you air-dash and smash through enemies, metal and glass.
- Twin-Frog Gloves that offer long-range punching and the ability to swing.
- Giant Sponge that lets you suck up water from the environment to grow huge and cause massive (and slightly moist) destruction.
With improved Astro controls and new powers, the platforming experience reaches new heights while staying accessible for everyone. Players will face over 70 new types of baddies, including massive bosses at the end of each galaxy.
But there’s more — during this epic adventure, Astro will reunite with many friends from the PlayStation universe. The trailer below highlights just a few of the friends you’ll meet on your journey.
Astro Bot will launch on the PS5 on 6th September 2024.
