Astro Bot’s speedrun levels will be released weekly beginning tomorrow.
The levels will be available every Thursday at 6:00 am PT, 2:00 pm BST, and 10:00 pm JST until November 14.
The release schedule is as follows:
- October 17: Building Speed
- October 24: Let it Slide
- October 31: Spring-loaded Run
- November 7: Helium Heights
- November 14: Rising Heat
Each level contains two new special cameo bots to collect. Eve from Stellar Blade and characters from Helldivers have already been teased.
All speed run levels will be free, with Team Asobi teasing that “there may be even more surprises coming soon,” on a post on the PlayStation blog.
Earlier this month, VGC spoke to Kenny CM Young, Astro Bot‘s composer, about the game’s soundtrack and the pressure of following up Astro’s Playroom’s GPU song.
Astro Bot has been critically acclaimed, earning it a score of 94 on review aggregation site Metacritic. VGC’s Astro Bot review called it “the best 3D platformer in a decade”.
PlayStation and Team Asobi have announced that Astro Bot‘s free speedrun DLC will be released later this year.
VGC recently got the chance to visit the studio behind Astro Bot, Team Asobi, for an inside look at the development of the game, and the history of the franchise.
