It appears that Astro Bot is set to receive even more cameo Bots in the future.
The last of five free DLC speedrun stages for the game is released today, but the game’s credits were recently updated to include references to other characters who have yet to feature.
Each of the DLC stages has added more new cameo Bots, but not every IP listed in the credits has been featured in the game yet.
For a while now, the credits have listed Rayman, Beyond Good & Evil, Assassin’s Creed and Croc: Legend of the Gobbos. None of these games have featured as cameo Bots in the game yet.
However, as spotted on the Astro Bot Reddit page, the credits were recently updated again to add the line: “Tomba! Special Edition © 2024 WhooPee Camp. All rights reserved. Published by Limited Run Games.”
This means there are now at least five IPs yet to be accounted for, and given that the game’s DLC stages only appear to feature two cameo Bots, they almost certainly won’t all appear in today’s DLC stage.
During a studio visit to Team Asobi in September, VGC was told that the game was initially planned to getfive speedrun levels and ten challenge levels.
While the last of the speedrun levels arrives today, no further information has been shared on the challenge levels. Given that there will still be some IPs accounted for, however, it would appear that at least some of these challenge stages are on the way at some point.
