Hello everybody! We hope you might be preparing for a good summer time and have loved the previous couple of weeks of gaming information.
As we gear up for Astro Bot’s launch on September 6, we wished to allow you to in on a few surprises now we have been reserving for our neighborhood.
In Astro Bot, you and Astro go on a mission to rescue the 300 bots crew who obtained scattered everywhere in the galaxies. Most of the bots making up the crew are cameo characters which have marked the PlayStation historical past. There are over 150 to gather, every with their very own humorous animations regarding the sport they initially got here from.
So as to add a spice of enjoyable, we’ve been hiding 4 of those Special Bots inside Astro’s Playroom, which got here pre-loaded in each PS5 console. By unlocking these 4 hidden characters in Astro’s Playroom, it is possible for you to to take them with you into the new recreation, Astro Bot, and add them to your beginning crew. Are you following thus far?
On June 7, we dropped within the first of those 4 Special Bots. Being cheeky robots ourselves, we thought it might be enjoyable to show this into a treasure hunt riddle and see how lengthy it might take anybody to determine it out. What a huge shock to see it took the neighborhood lower than 3 hours to clear that riddle. That was fairly unimaginable. You probably have missed it, right here is a fast rundown of what it’s important to do.
We hid a secret capsule within the first space of GPU Jungle (Render Forest). To make it seem, you will need to stand on prime of a huge plant close to the sting of the extent, simply behind the Bloodborne Hunter Bot. Contained in the capsule, one other Special Bot (Woman Maria) seems to be trapped and wishes rescuing.
On the capsule itself, we included a small trace displaying the picture of a clock. However what may that imply? Trying rigorously across the stage close by, one can find a related clock image carved into one of many bushes up above. It takes a few jumps to get there. It is in the back of a tree, the furthest away.
That’s when issues get trickier (or so we thought!). Standing on that spot, it’s important to pause the sport by urgent the choices button. As a substitute of the conventional pause, that makes a particular Astral Clock display screen seem. By getting into the quantity 24.11.2015 (or November 24, 2015, the unique launch date of the Bloodborne DLC that includes Woman Maria), the palms of the clock magically flip and…
The capsule opens, letting our Special Bot free. Properly accomplished, let’s have fun with a trophy!
As soon as freed, Woman Maria will await you within the Mission Room, able to be transferred to Astro Bot when you’re prepared.
Simply a few days in the past, we added a second Special Bot, Selene, from the PS5 title Returnal. As soon as once more, working collectively, you had been in a position to crack the riddle and free her to make it 2 out of 4.
We hope you get pleasure from these updates as a lot as we had enjoyable making them! Along with these Special Bots, the PlayStation Labo acquired an update, so we invite you to test it out and add new artefacts to your assortment.
That’s all for now. However the treasure hunt doesn’t finish right here! We might be again quickly with 2 extra riddles on the run-up to the discharge of Astro Bot. And by the seems to be of it, we would need to make the subsequent ones even more durable.
Thanks all for taking part in together with us, and we’ll see you quickly!
Crew Asobi out.
