Astro’s Space Adventure
The new game will take players across six unique galaxies with over 80 levels to explore. These environments include lush forests, sandy beaches, fiery volcanoes, and even more imaginative locations like a gigantic hourglass and a singing tree canopy.
New Abilities and Gameplay
Astro will have over 15 new abilities that leverage the PS5’s DualSense controller. These abilities, such as the air-dashing Bulldog Booster and the water-sucking Giant Sponge, promise to offer diverse playstyles and enhance the gaming experience.

Enemies and Challenges
The game will feature over 70 new enemy types, including formidable bosses at the end of each galaxy. One of the notable bosses is Lady Venomara, a deadly cobra queen who awaits players in her golden lair. For those seeking extra challenges, the game includes die-and-retry levels designed to test players’ reflexes and skills.
