Astro Bot was by far the biggest reveal from Sony’s recent State of Play Showcase, with the 3D platformer seemingly set to take the crown from the long-reigning champion of platformers – Mario. Arriving in just a few months, the team at Asobi have confirmed that Astro Bot will be getting a bunch of free DLC after launch.

In an interview with IGN, Team Asobi’s studio head Nicolas Doucet spoke on a number of topics, from the fact that they were given complete freedom to include any and all PlayStation characters, to the revelation that the game will be getting free DLC; adding new levels beyond the 80 which will be included at launch.

According to Doucet, the free DLC will arrive “soon” after launch, and will be “based around adding more challenge levels to the game” – though there will be more to it than just that.

Astro Bot is looking to be one of the best games of the year, and with free DLC promised to be arriving quickly following launch, Astro Bot’s full console debut could very well be something quite special.
