Astro Bot Speedrun DLC Schedule With More Cameos Teased

Sony and Team Asobi released a schedule for the free DLC speedrun levels set to come to Astro Bot. The first of these levels is set to release on October 17, 2024, while the final one will release on November 14, 2024. It is unknown if more will appear after that.

Nicolas Doucet, studio director at Team Asobi, discussed the announcement in a post on the Playstation Blog. The free DLC will be a pack of challenge levels designed to be speedrun, with leaderboards available too. The first of these is titled Building Speed, which will feature a robot dog named Barkster who functions like a jetpack. Additionally, each new level will add two new bot characters based on other franchises, for a total of 10 more cameos.

The full DLC Schedule is as follows:

• Building Speed releases on October 17, 2024.
• Let it Slide releases on October 24, 2024.
• Spring-loaded Run releases on October 31, 2024.
• Helium Heights releases on November 7, 2024.
• Rising Heat releases on November 14, 2024.

Back in September 2024, Doucet confirmed several new bot characters would be added to the game in a free update. Good Smile Company also recently re-ran the Astro Bot Nendoroid from Astro’s Playroom.

Astro Bot is available now for PS5, with the first of the free DLC levels arriving on October 17, 2024.
