Astro Bot's eagerly anticipated PS5 outing is almost upon us, launching on September 9th. However, it seems someone just couldn't wait that long, and around 15 minutes of gameplay has leaked online. Like last time around, the video itself has been pulled from YouTube (although you can still find it if you go looking), but fans were quick to note a bunch of details that may be of interest to the PlayStation faithful, who don't mind some small, potential spoilers.
As per Eurogamer, the gameplay in question seems to have been received quite positively by fans, with Redditors spotting some pretty cool special bots: Trico from The Last Guardian, Leon Kennedy, Street Fighter's Ryu and Ken, Gray Fox and Psycho Mantis from Metal Gear Solid, Persona 5's Joker, Octodad, Gravity Rush's Kat, Sly Cooper, Dante from Devil May Cry, Chris Redfield and Jill Valentine, Spyro, Silent Hill's Pyramid Head, and even the cat from Stray.
Praise is heaped on the animation, and it seems like the gang hangs out in a main hub, with all of the bots doing their own thing. Sounding for all the world like Super Mario 64, players will need to have rescued a certain number in order to unlock additional levels, forming a rope of sorts and allowing them to swing to the next stage.
