Fresh off taking the world by storm earlier this month, Sony’s mascot of the moment,Astro Bot,had its first update announced during tonight’sState of Play.
Set to release this fall, thisAstro Botupdate will be free to all people and include five new levels for players. These levels will be speedrun levels designed for players to race against birds to rescue ten new bots being added to the game.
Beyond racing against the birds, you’ll be racing on the clock and there will be a shared leaderboard for you to compare your times against your friends. To claim the top of the leaderboard and rescue all ten bots it will take all theAstro Bottricksyou can pull off to lower your time. These levels are like optional Mario levels in that they appear designed to be more challenging, especially with the focus on speed to get your rewards from them.
