Astro Bot has launched for PlayStation 5 consoles. The 3D platformer by Team Asobi features music by series composer Kenneth C M Young.

The Astro's Playroom followup invites players to embark on a galactic quest to explore more than fifty planets in search of Astro’s lost crew members. Sony's six-part behind-the-scenes video series, filmed with Team Asobi, will detail technological innovations, the design of platformer gameplay, and various PlayStation game character cameos.

The launch trailer and "Play Will Find a Way" live action trailer are streaming on the PlayStation YouTube channel. The former introduces the character of Handy-D stationed on Astro’s back, allowing the player character some added terrain traversal options, like climbing and swinging.


From the product page:

When the PS5 mothership is attacked by ASTRO’s long-standing galactic nemesis, scrambling its wires and scattering the crew throughout space, only ASTRO can make things right! Setting off on his biggest mission yet, he needs your help to rescue the stranded crew and rebuild the mothership.
