The first new level for Astro Bot, Tick-Tock Shock releases today, February 13th, for free. Sony will then roll out more levels each week until March 13th. These levels feature harder challenges, putting players’ platforming skills to the test. Aside from new levels, these will also feature new bots and collectibles to discover and unlock. 

The five levels and the dates they will arrive in Astro Bot are as follows: 

• Feb 13: Tick-Tock Shock
• Feb 20: Thrust or Bust
• Feb 27: Cock-A-Doodle-Doom
• Mar 6: Hard to Bear
• Mar 13: Armored Hardcore

In order to access these new Astro Bot levels, players will need to have completed the main game. This means progressing through each of the galaxies and defeating the final boss. Unlocking every bot and collectible throughout these levels is not necessary, and neither is having completed the speed run and winter-themed levels.

While the five new levels and new bots are the main attraction of this recent announcement, Sony also revealed those on PlayStation 5 Pro will get a special feature. A new mode will allow PS5 Pro players to enjoy a constant 60 FPS while maintaining the best resolution.

While the names of the new levels are known, it remains unclear what bots will join the expansive roster of Astro Bot. Previous teasers have pointed to certain bots, but these remain unofficial, as Sony has not confirmed them. 

Astro Bot has been a massive success for PlayStation and Sony. Many believe it will usher in a new era of platformers considering its success. Astro Bot is so highly rated, that many have put it on a pedestal comparable to some of Nintendo’s best platforming titles, which is no small thing. Other news for Astro Bot includes a leak revealing a potential PlayStation 5 bundle that comes with the game.
