Astro Bot[a] is a 2024 Platform game developed by Team Asobi and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment for PlayStation 5. It released around the time of PlayStation's 30th Anniversary. It is the 5th game in the Astro Bot series, released after Astro's Playroom (2020).

Development

In an interview with Edge magazine, director Nicolas Doucet said that Team Asobi thought about giving the game an open world structure, but instead decided to make the game level based. He said that the reason was "because that was the one that gave us the most control over the game's variety"[1]
