Astro Bot Gets Free New Levels

Astro Bot Update 1.017 Unveils Megamix Mastery Levels and New PlayStation Characters

Astro Bot, the PlayStation 5 exclusive developed by Team Asobi and launched in September 2024, has established itself as one of the PS5’s most acclaimed titles. The game recently received a free update, version 1.017, introducing significant new content. This latest update adds five new challenge levels to the Vicious Void galaxy, collectively known as “Megamix Mastery.” Team Asobi revealed four of these levels as Twinfrog Trouble, Suck It Up, Handhold Havoc, and High Inflation, with the fifth remaining undisclosed. These additions bring the game’s total level count to over 90. Players can also discover new special bots unlocked through challenges, featuring characters inspired by other PlayStation productions. The update introduces Cloud Strife and Sephiroth from Square Enix’s Final Fantasy VII, 2B from NieR: Automata, and Atsu, a secret bot from Sucker Punch’s upcoming Ghost of Yotei game. Players have already expressed positive feedback about the new levels and characters on social media. In related news, Sony has confirmed plans to launch an updated, limited-edition Astro Bot-inspired DualSense controller later this year. While more details are expected soon, the controller is not yet available for pre-order.

New Levels & Special Characters in Astro Bot’s Expanding Universe

Team Asobi has consistently expanded Astro Bot’s content since its release. Last year, the developer introduced six new levels, including a Christmas-themed stage and five speedrun levels released between October and November. Earlier this year, Team Asobi added five additional challenge levels to the Vicious Void galaxy, notably featuring Jade from Beyond Good and Evil as a special bot. Through these continuous additions of seasonal challenges and themed levels, Astro Bot remains a strong offering within its genre, providing an accessible and ever-growing experience for all players.
