Team Asobi Has 'No Plans' for Astro's Playroom DLC or Sequel Right Now

I just want a sequel to Astro Bot : Rescue Mission ! It was incredibly good.

We need an Astro Bot Rescue mission sequel. The greatest platformer of all time (along with Mario 64) deserves continuation.

Shame as Astro's Playroom is easily the best thing about PS5 right now, this and Astro Bot have shown that this can be a terrific franchise for Sony and have been as fun as anything I've played from Nintendo in a very long time

Money is a big incentive. If Sony throw enough money at them I'm sure their plans will change. I've heard nothing but praise about Astro. I love it. My daughter loves it. The internet loves it. Why wouldn't you make a sequel or DLC.

I played Astro Bot Rescue Mission this year and it completely blew me away. Every level had my grinning from ear to ear or dropping my jaw in amazement, and I desperately want a sequel to it!

I need more astrobot games, I’d love a fully fledged 3D platformer that plays into playstations history even more than playroom ps5 did.

@darkswabber They could do DLC for each Console. Inside the PS1, 2, 3 and 4! I'd buy them all.

Rescue mission is for me the best VR game by quite a distance and I would be amazed if there was not a follow up when PSVR2 launches. Perhaps this is why there is no further DLC etc planned they might want you to buy PSVR2 if you want more Astro which for me would be the wrong approach given the success on PS5.

I want new astrobot 3D adventure full game like mario odyssey, just like ape escape back in psone show us the full capability of dualshock, this new game can show us full capability of dualsense. Or maybe new ape escape game

@Thesnipergecko I’d love a ps1 horror level with nemesis as a boss (or ps2 with a pyramid head boss)

I'd even buy a turd if it had Astro's face on it.

@Thesnipergecko sony owns team asobi...

@get2sammyb Sooner or later but it will!

Its definitely happening. Astrobot only continues to get more popular, and the outpouring of love for playroom means its when, not if, they make a full game. The question remains whether it will be a widely available platformer, or is developed in support of PSVR2.

I would be day one, bar some crashes, astrobot is easily one of my favourite gaming experiences of the last few years

(Darth Vader scream)...NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Really really really really want another one But not a VR one tho and it would be cool if they could redo the old VR one so I could play it without a VR headset(not sure if possible tho)

@Carl-G Rescue Mission is very much a VR game. I mean, they could remove the CT aspect, but it wouldn't be the same. It would lose a lot of what makes it special. Just like how Astro's Playroom wouldn't have the same impact without the DualSense.

@Amppari doesn't mean they work for free though does it.

Astro Playroom secretly is playstation 5 best launch game and the closest rival to Nintendo Platformers in quite along time .
its a shame really Sony wont invest more heavily into making Astro a series of games . Asobi team are absoutely incredible!

The wording of this actually seems to confirm what I originally thought. They are working on porting astro's rescue mission to non-VR

Astro Playroom really captured that joy factor that's usually reserved for Nintendo first party games. I think i enjoyed it more than Mario Odyssey and is the game I'd use to show off the PS5 to guests, if I'm ever allowed to have any.

I feel like AstroBot has become the New PlayStation Mascot that Sony were hoping Knack would be. Really want to see more from this little guy!

This was my first Astro game I played and as a free game with the PS5 I wasn't excepting much other then showing off the controller but to me this was both a blast to play and I was bursting with nostalgia that I feel like a kid again when I got my mega drive for the first time.

Give me something twice as long and you may have the best 3D platformer of all time.

Imagine an Astro's Playroom 2 but instead of just referencing iconic PlayStation characters, have Astro constantly hop between the worlds of these PlayStation Franchises but remade to suit the platforming gameplay of AstroBot.
For example: Infamous, imagine a side-scrolling level version of Empire City, jumping from rooftop to rooftop, being shot at by cute little ReaperBots from the background, grinding on rails, then at the end you fight the Beast.
Another example: getting to explore the Streets of Yharnam from Bloodborne, even altering Astro's playstyle so that Astro may fight the enemies similarly to Bloodborne's Combat but with AstroBot's signature charm.

@Jayslow - I hope so, I've recently developed vertigo and I'm constantly lightheaded, somedays worse than others, so I'm no longer able to enjoy VR anymore, so a non VR version of AstroBot Rescue Mission would be greatly appreciated.

Hopefully we'll see Astro more in the future. I feel he definitely has a seat in Sony's IPs.

There is no holding back.
WE NEED AN ASTRO BOT STUBBINS PLUSH.

@JustPlainLoco I never got VR because of vertigo problems. Maybe someday I'll give it a try. Sick bag on standby. 😁😁

I would love a sequel to Astro Bot Rescue Mission.

@Octane I love Astrobot's Playroom, and it really is the best use of VR to date. But honestly I don't see how that game would lose much by not being VR. It's awesome in VR. Maybe better for it. But I'm still not sure it really needs VR to stand alone.

I love Astro Bot but I think if they want a legit, full-game sequel to Astro's Playroom they need to make some changes.

For starters, the motion control stuff is cool to show off the controller but I think it would be really gimicky if it was in a full game. Astro's Playroom already reached what I think is an acceptable limit of motion control activities. I thought the DualSense sensations of the frog suit was amazing, but the gameplay in that section got dull very quickly. I was disappointed when the second frog section started. Same with the monkey parts - interesting, but making a game with that rock climbing as a primary mechanic would be a big mistake. It gave me flashbacks of Wii shovelware.

I also think if Astro is going to be in a game the size of Mario Odyssey he needs a few more moves. He can punch, charge punch for a spin attack, and hover after a double jump. If he is going to star in a longer game then I think his move set needs to have a bit more variety - not much, but a bit. Mario can do a few extra things and it makes gameplay more engaging for longer periods of time.

The bow and machine gun were cool, but he'd need more stuff like that in a long game. The suits have a lot of potential and I think if they come up with some that don't rely on motion control then they'll really be on to something.

Pulling off such a game would require a lot of talent and creativity, but amazingly I think Team Asobi could do it. In 20 years they are the only team outside of Nintendo that seems to really understand how to make this type of game, and who can execute it.

Astro Bot is a excellent family friendly game. We need more games like it. Astro Bot could easily become the next Playstation mascot.

Astro could be a diagnostic tool for depression. If you don't feel utter childlike joy playing the game you're utterly dead inside.

@NEStalgia Have you played Rescue Mission? Honestly it's the small details that make it even more amazing. The seaweed stuck on your head after that water level, and that one level with rising water levels where you can submerge yourself by ducking. The "mine kart" level feels a lot faster in VR. I don't think it would have the same impact on a flat screen.

@Octane Yeah, i adore the game. 8 never finished the last levels though, i tend to do that when i love a game and don't want it to end. Vesperia still haunts me.

And yes, those moments were special and made better by VR, but I still don't think the game NEEDS VR specifically. It's better with it, lots of things are, but I wouldn't say it's impossible to make the game for 2d. It may lose a few elements, but the bulk of it translates just fine.

@Dobbos - Damn that sucks, sorry to hear that, thankfully my vertigo doesn't make me nauseated, that would really suck if it did, because I had an operation when I was younger to treat my Acid Reflux, now I'm physically incapable of being sick, UNLESS it was something I'd eaten or drank within a 1o minute time frame.

@Thesnipergecko
Yes. Just. Yes.

@SilentHunter382
I kept playing the game over and over, in each game collecting every artifact. A couple days ago, I managed to get the platinum trophy for the game. Its hard to find a solid game that can use the full power of the dualsense, I would LOVE a DLC for the game
