Astro Bot is an adventure title, featuring puzzles, bossfights, exploration, and apparently a whole lot more. Gameplay is centered around the numerous unique and iconic worlds and characters created by Sony’s first-party studios over the past few decades, including several very recognizable gaming legends.

This release will be the third game in the Astro Bot franchise. The first, Astro Bot Rescue Mission was developed for Sony’s VR, while the second—Astro’s Playroom—was basically a released tech demo for Sony’s new DualSense controllers.

The third and ultimate Astro Bot will be available on PlayStation 5, and is being developed by Team Asiobi, which was formerly part of the now-defunct Japan Studio.
