A new opportunity for gamers has emerged as a fresh downloadable content (DLC) addition for Astro Bot is now available. This enhancement not only introduces new challenges but also sets the stage for further updates in the coming weeks, enhancing the overall experience. Team Asobi has rolled out its inaugural free DLC level, and additional content is expected to arrive in the near future. The release features the level titled Building Speed, which players can access by updating the game.
In this level, players will harness the abilities of the Barkster bulldog bot power-up to propel Astro through crates and navigate intricate platforming obstacles. Furthermore, there are plans for four additional speedrun challenge levels, set to release weekly over the next month. Each of these levels aims to push players to achieve the fastest completion times possible.
In light of this, a new online leaderboard has been introduced, allowing players and their friends to see who can progress through each level in the shortest time. While the competitive element encourages speed, players might want to take a moment to enjoy the experience during their initial run. Each level is enriched with new bot cameos, providing delightful surprises.
In Building Speed, players can encounter charming robotic interpretations from the Helldivers and EVE, a character from Stellar Blade. Although details about future cameos are scarce, hints suggest that there may be even more surprises based on the context gleaned from Astro Bot's credits sequence.
