New Astro Bot Speedrun Levels Arrive This Thursday Online

Astro Bot developer Team Asobi has announced the launch dates for its new, free bundle of speedrunning levels. The first level, Building Speed, will be available starting October 17 and will see players team up with the bulldog booster Barkster to help them weave their way through a series of obstacles like cranes, crates, and even a flying car wash.

Weekly Level Release Schedule

Team Asobi will release a level every week at 6 AM PT / 9 AM ET, and in total, there will be five of these new stages to race through. Each level will also have two brand-new bots to rescue, inspired by characters like Eve from Stellar Blade and the Helldivers.

Each level will have an online leaderboard for the speedrunners looking to earn bragging rights. Astro Bot was released on September 6 and the game earned critical acclaim for its polished platforming fun.

A Bright Future for Astro

The future for Astro looks bright, as PlayStation CEO Hermen Hulst recently spoke about how Sony is looking to release more family-friendly games. Astro is very, very important to PlayStation, and fans won’t have long to wait for a new all-ages adventure.

PlayStation fans can look forward to Lego Horizon Adventures, which puts a cute spin on the Horizon series and will launch for PC, PS5, PS4, and Switch on November 14.
