At Sony's State of Play presentation, first-party studio Team Asobi announced its next project: a new Astro Bot game releasing 2024 for PS5.
Titled simply Astro Bot, the first trailer shows the adorable little bot platforming and battling foes in tune to catchy music. We also get references to numerous classic games, including PaRappa, Journey, and more. All in all it looks like a joyful celebration of gaming on Playstation.
This is Team Asobi's fifth project featuring the iconic robot. Before today's announcement, the most recent project from Team Asobi that also starred the adorable robot was the PS5 launch title Astro's Playroom, which was preinstalled on every PlayStation 5.
There had been rumors for years that Team Asobi was looking to make a new game after it was discovered in 2021 that the studio created a job posting, teasing that it was working on its "most ambitious game yet." Team Asobi would later double down on this statement roughly a year later. Though team Aosbi kept a tight lip on whether or not it would be another Astro Bot game, last week, reliable leaker Billbil-kun reported that the PlayStation Studios subsidiary was working on another game featuring its iconic studio mascot.
In our review of Astro's Playroom, which scored an 8/10, IGN wrote: "Astro's Playroom is a great showcase for the varied, impressive ways the DualSense can immerse you in next-gen games."
It'll be out September 6, 2024, and you can find everything else announced at the State of Play 2024 right here.
