Astro Bot's latest update introduces five exhilarating challenge levels, each featuring unique bots to unlock. Notably, two of these newcomers hail from a PlayStation fan-favorite series previously absent from the game.
For those avoiding spoilers: You'll find one bot in the High Inflation challenge, while the second awaits players who complete all five new trials in the Vicious Void Galaxy and rescue its fellow bots.
Warning! We're revealing all DLC bots after this video—turn back now if you prefer surprises!
The iconic Final Fantasy VII duo Cloud and Sephiroth finally join the roster. Cloud appears after conquering High Inflation, with Sephiroth rewarding those who master all new challenges.
Final Fantasy VII representation has ranked high on Astro Bot players' wishlists since launch. Despite featuring 173 PlayStation-themed bots initially, the absence of this legendary franchise—synonymous with PlayStation's legacy—stood out. Developers previously cited licensing hurdles with Square Enix, suggesting recent successful negotiations enabled these additions.
The DLC delivers more Square Enix favorites alongside Cloud and Sephiroth. Players will encounter Nier: Automata's 2B and Chrono Cross's Serge, plus Ghost of Yōtei's Atsu—though her inclusion was already announced.
Team Asobi continues supporting Astro Bot with quality updates following its stellar launch performance. The platformer sold 1.5 million copies within two months and earned our 9/10 review praising its "fantastic inventiveness and special appeal for PlayStation enthusiasts."
