Following a successful September release, PlayStation’s stellar 3D platformer Astro Bot is set to receive five new levels through free content updates from October 17 to November 14, 2024.

These five levels were designed with speedrunning in mind, and will each feature an online leaderboard so players can see how their performance stacks up against the community.

The first level, Building Speed, will take place in the game’s city in the clouds. Players will be joined by Barkster, who will help them as they attempt to dodge cranes, smash crates, and more.

Each level will also feature two new Special Bots to rescue. While the full set of 10 Bots hasn’t been revealed just yet, we do know players will be able to collect Eve from Stellar Blade and the Helldivers.

Here’s the full level release schedule:

  • October 17 - Building Speed
  • October 24 - Let It Slide
  • October 31 - Spring-loaded Run
  • November 7 - Helium Height
  • November 14 - Rising Heat
