Despite being a glorified tech demo, Astro's Playroom is the only game I've played that actually feels like it takes full advantage of the PS5's technology. Excited to see what they pull off with a full fledged game

Number 1: You need it.
Number 2: You need it.
Number 3…

It's so nice to see people excited for a platformer on Playstation again. This is unusual nowadays.

[danielsandford]

Probably the most excited I've been about a game in many, many years!

Has Rosie never heard of phrasing? "There's only so much bouncing my sofa can take before it collapses", and the subsequent statement😂

1 thing you don't need to know about my preparation for Astro Bot but that I will tell you anyway: I have been taking pictures of the countdown to this game in Astro's Playroom since it was at the 83 day mark on the 14th June of this year (thanks Information tab). 2 and half months worth of pictures chronicling the long road to Astro Both. And the wwit and my challenge is nearly over.

CANNOT WAIT FOR IT!!!! I've been craving more Astro ever since Astro's Playroom..

[Insomniaaron]

Really the older references I look forward to to tickle the nostalgia bone.

I’m excited for Astro Bot, I loved Astro Bot Rescue Mission and Astro’s Playroom! They were both fantastic, charming, imaginative and fun games! So I can’t wait to play this!

[StewDogR]

Most hype I have felt for a game in years.

Astros punches are already so satisfying I can’t wait to try out the boxing gloves.

4:34: The returning badies from Rescue Mission, like the gorilla, octopus and bird bosses, are actually supposed to be siblings in Astro Bot. Nicolas Doucet confirmed it in a recent rapid fire question format, which comes highy recommended for anyone who enjoys Team Asobi's output.

Cannot wait for this game, going to be some fighting over the Astrobot controller between me & my daughter 😅

[anasshahid]

Loved Astro’s Playroom, one of the most fun experiences I have had in years, loved the soundtrack too! Astro Bot looks like a major upgrade, the world feels so open, massive bosses, colorful graphics, so excited, picking it up day one. It comes out a week before my birthday 😊

[Skraisia]

Really exited to see sly again as a bot. Since PlayStation decided to shelf the entire franchise it’s just a heartwarming little cameo and I’m here for it.

[michaell]

I wasn't sure about this one but apparently they have a Dart from Legend of Dragoon in the game so I'm definitely in

[vp_wrld]

I preordered to show support but I won’t even be home to play the game when it releases lol. I’ll have to wait until September 13th when I get back from vacation

[RosssPlatformerPulse]

Can't wait for this to arrive! I've been replaying Astro's Playroom.
