New Astro Bot game shows that Sony has learned a trick from Nintendo

has always been a little hesitant to really embrace its history. While it has dipped a toe in the nostalgia waters with the, the PlayStation brand rarely gets the same treatment as Nintendo pursues with games like Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. That's about to change dramatically with the announcement of a new Astro Bot game for PS5, and I couldn't be happier.and its PSVR2 headset this year, with the State of Play May showcase certainly not disappointing fans.

Developed by Sony's Team Asobi, we won't have to wait too long for Astro's next adventure with a release date of 6th September 2024, and pre-orders opening up on June 7. I love everything about this game already, from the vibrant and fun levels with a bunch of PlayStation-branded cameos , and not forgetting the upbeat retro pixel soundtrack of the game to keep you bopping along.

The company loves to shamelessly celebrate itself in these games with hundreds of references to PlayStation as a brand through the years, from older retro consoles and accessories making appearances within the game, to more subtle easter eggs that only old-school PlayStation fans would detect. It's about time PlayStation took a leaf out of Nintendo's book if you ask me.
