Sony has announced a new Astro Bot game during tonight’s PlayStation State of Play. It’s simply called Astro Bot, is once again developed by Sony’s Team Asobi, and launches for PlayStation 5 on 6th September.
A charming-enough-looking platformer, this is Astro’s first starring role since 2020’s PS5 launch title Astro’s Playroom.
In the past, Astro has been used as a showcase for Sony’s hardware, with Playroom designed to show off the PS5 DualSense, just as 2018’s Astro Bot Rescue Mission was built for PlayStation VR.
