Exciting news is coming from Team Asobi for all fans of their 3D platformer, Astro Bot. This week, they’re rolling out a free holiday-themed level called “Winter Wonder.” Although it will only be available for players who have already completed the main game, you can dive into this festive adventure starting Thursday evening.
While the developers haven’t spilled all the details about this latest update, they did hint at what’s in store via a PlayStation blog post. You can expect a heartwarming level packed with shiny presents, a cheerful dose of jingle bells, and some brand-new special bots to discover. Designed to be an enjoyable experience for both kids and adults, you won’t find any infuriatingly tricky challenges in this update.
For those unfamiliar, Team Asobi has long been Sony’s trusted team for creating tech demos. They developed games like Astro’s Playroom, launched alongside the PlayStation 5, showcasing the console’s features, as well as Astro Bot Rescue Mission, which highlighted the capabilities of the PlayStation VR headset.
The launch of this bonus level is a gesture of gratitude from Team Asobi to their enthusiastic fans and loyal critics, as noted in the PlayStation blog. Since Astro Bot’s release earlier this year, Team Asobi has been overwhelmed by the positive feedback from the community and the praise received globally. Studio director Nicolas Doucet expressed deep appreciation, saying, “From the bottom of our hearts, thank you so much for showing your appreciation. It truly means a lot to us.”
