Get ready for some wintery fun as Team Asobi is adding a festive twist to its cherished 3D platformer, Astro Bot. This week marks the release of “Winter Wonder,” a complimentary holiday-themed level that promises to delight players who have already conquered the game. You can dive into this snowy adventure starting Thursday evening.
While the developers have kept most details under wraps, they did drop some hints on a PlayStation blog. Anticipate a level bursting with shiny presents and jingle bells aplenty, along with some all-new special bots. Designed to entertain both kids and adults, you can expect an experience free from those hair-raising challenges. Just pure, joyful gaming for everyone to enjoy.
Team Asobi has carved out a niche as Sony’s go-to tech demo studio for years now. They’ve brought us gems like Astro’s Playroom, which debuted alongside the PS5 as the console’s tech showcase, and Astro Bot Rescue Mission, a brilliant demonstration of the PlayStation VR headset’s capabilities.
In a heartfelt post on the PlayStation blog, the team shared that this new level is a token of their gratitude for the overwhelming positive response from fans and critics alike.
Team Asobi’s studio director, Nicolas Doucet, expressed his thanks: “Since the release of Astro Bot earlier this year on PlayStation 5, we’ve been truly overwhelmed by the lovely comments from you and the PlayStation community. The game has received a fantastic critical response worldwide. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you so much for showing your appreciation. It truly means a lot to us.”
So gear up for “Winter Wonder” and let the festivities begin!
