Astro Bot just dropped a massive surprise for fans with its latest DLC, bringing a classic character from a legendary RPG right into the mix. The new content is live now, featuring six exhilarating challenge levels that will test your skills and, of course, reward you with collectible cameo bots.
One particularly thrilling addition is the cameo bot of Cloud from Final Fantasy 7. This marks the franchise’s debut in Astro Bot, which had left fans wondering why such an iconic series was absent from the base game’s diverse lineup of crossovers. Many speculated that licensing issues with Square Enix might have played a role.
According to director Nicholas Doucet, “almost 100%” of publishers were on board with their characters making an appearance. He emphasizes the importance of respecting each publisher’s choices, which adds another layer to the intrigue surrounding character appearances in games like this.
Also on the horizon is the return of the Astro Bot DualSense controller, set for release later this year. Fans can look forward to new features that promise to enhance the gaming experience, especially with an updated touchpad bringing a fresh twist to the popular controller design. Stay tuned for more information and updates!
