PS5 Mascot Astro Bot Is Double-Jumping to Fall Guys

A rescue mission

by Sammy Barker Sun 6th Mar 2022

Yet another PlayStation protagonist is hop, skip, and jumping to madcap multiplayer hit Fall Guys. Starting from 8th March through 13th March, a brand new Astro Bot costume – and various other themed cosmetics – will be unlockable, assuming you complete the Sweet Thieves Challenges. You’ll also be able to pick up a T-Rex Astro Bot from the release’s in-game store, from 10th March through 13th March.

Astro Bot’s addition follows other PlayStation characters, like Aloy and Jin Sakai. You can find out much more about how Fall Guys outfits are designed through the link.

Is Astrobot actually a thing? Or is Sony just pushing it a bit to make it seem like it's a bigger thing than it actually is.

All I know is that Sackboy is huge and had an even bigger potential. Instead of all the crappy merch Sony put out they could've easily made a pop vinyl kinda line with sackboys. Every sackboy figure would've then gotten a different costume representing the various PS characters. I would've collected the crap out of that. Still salty about it

@BoldAndBrash He started off as a tech demo for the PSVR headset then became a full game. He's starring in another PS5 demo game but that's it. He's not exactly the biggest PlayStation protagonist right now.

@BoldAndBrash He's in the process of becoming a bigger thing. Rescue Mission and Playroom are pretty well-regarded games.

Love this costume. Gives me a reason to jump back into Fall Guys for a short bit. I love the game but this season has been going on for so long that I haven’t been playing recently.
