As revealed in the latest State of Play, Astro Bot receives five new levels in Vicious Void today (July 10).
Description via PlayStation.Blog:
Five brand-new levels are arriving to expand the Vicious Void galaxy and make the Astro Bot universe even bigger: now over 90 levels in total! Like the last update, these five levels will push your skills to the limit, so hold on tight to your DualSense controller to embark on this adventure.
However, there’s a notable Special Bot addition whose absence was heavily felt at launch: Cloud Strife from Final Fantasy VII (via X).
Previously, Team Asobi offered no explanation for Square Enix characters’ absence, only commenting that it’s difficult to discuss the subject.
Standard with Astro Bot updates, there are other Bots to rescue, so keep your eyes peeled.
