The upcoming love letter to PlayStation historical past, Astro Bot,will embrace over 150 totally different cameos of characters from throughout the platform’s historical past. We already know a few of them, like The Traveler from Journey, Kratos from God of Warfare, Nathan Drake from Uncharted, and — bizarrely — Woman Maria from Bloodborne, which is earmarked as a pre-order bonus.

Sadly, this isn’t the case and the inclusion of the outfit was nothing greater than celebrating the historical past of the console.
“There’s no secret which means. It’s only a celebration of the entire PlayStation historical past.”
Whereas the unique Astro recreation — Astro’s Playroom — was a love letter to the {hardware} (no less than till the current replace) and used to showcase the sturdy options discovered inside the PS5, this new, full recreation places a give attention to the characters that made the console. It’s a pure development for Workforce Asobi to introduce, however it’s definitely a disappointing hit to Bloodborne neighborhood who simply need to see the entry get some love with a contemporary model or perhaps a PC port.
“As an alternative of the {hardware} we put our consideration in direction of the characters. And that’s why we push these cameos. Earlier than they have been fairly primitive, however now they really feel a lot richer trying. It’s over 150 [cameos], so it’s going to go actually deep and all people ought to have their favourite ones.”
