The upcoming love letter to PlayStation historical past, Astro Bot,will embody over 150 completely different cameos of characters from throughout the platform’s historical past. We already know a few of them, like The Traveler from Journey, Kratos from God of Battle, Nathan Drake from Uncharted, and — bizarrely — Woman Maria from Bloodborne, which is earmarked as a pre-order bonus.
Following the reveal of the sport, and talking with Eurogamer, artistic director Nicolas Doucet squashed the speculation this was a nod that one thing was coming for the Bloodborne group. Sadly, this isn’t the case and the inclusion of the outfit was nothing greater than celebrating the historical past of the console.
“There’s no secret which means. It’s only a celebration of the entire PlayStation historical past.”
Whereas the unique Astro sport — Astro’s Playroom — was a love letter to the {hardware} (at the very least till the current replace) and used to showcase the sturdy options discovered inside the PS5, this new, full sport places a deal with the characters that made the console. It’s a pure development for Staff Asobi to introduce, however it’s definitely a disappointing hit to Bloodborne group who simply wish to see the entry get some love with a contemporary model or perhaps a PC port.
“As a substitute of the {hardware} we put our consideration in the direction of the characters. And that’s why we push these cameos. Earlier than they had been fairly primitive, however now they really feel a lot richer wanting. It’s over 150 [cameos], so it’s going to go actually deep and all people ought to have their favourite ones.”
