Team Asobi has today announced another batch of new levels for its PS5 platformer Astro Bot. All completely free, an additional five levels will be rolled out over the coming weeks, with the first going live today. PS5 Pro owners can also look forward to a patch that'll allow the game to take advantage of Sony's upgraded console, enhancing Astro Bot to be played at "a constant best resolution while still running at 60 frames per second".

Today's level is called Tick-Tock Shock, and you can catch a glimpse of it in the video above. Here's the full release schedule:

  • 13th February — Tick-Tock Shock
  • 20th February — Thrust or Bust
  • 27th February — Cock-A-Doodle-Doom
  • 6th March — Hard to Bear
  • 13th March — Armored Hardcore

In a PlayStation Blog post, studio director Nicolas Doucet explains that these upcoming levels are purposefully harder than what you're used to and will challenge your jumping skills. "Each level comes with a brand-new Special Bot to rescue and, once that’s done, can be replayed in Time Attack mode with online rankings. To access these, you will need to have completed the main game. So sharpen those skills again and let’s get rescuing."

You'll access these new levels from a new galaxy on the hub screen, called Vicious Void Galaxy. Will you be returning to Astro Bot to master these fresh stages? Let us know in the comments below.
