Even more Astro Bot cameos may be coming in the near future, as the game itself happens to mention no fewer than seven yet-to-be-realized collaborations. As recently spotted by Reddit user Goldenboss6, the platformer”s credits contain copyright notices for Stellar Blade, Croc: Legend of the Gobbos, Rise of the Ronin, and Worms. They also include such notices for three Ubisoft franchises: Assassin”s Creed, Beyond Good and Evil, and Rayman.

Back in June 2024, Team Asobi confirmed Astro Bot will get a variety of post-launch content, including challenge levels and some additional surprises. Based on the contents of the game”s credits, it would appear that new character cameos may very well be part of these DLC additions. Team Asobi Studio Head Nicolas Doucet previously said that Astro Bot”s post-launch content will be free. And while the executive did not commit to a concrete timeline for when the DLC will release, he said fans can expect it “soon” after the game itself hits the market.Close
Whether the seven franchises mentioned in the platformer”s credits hint at the entirety of its planned post-launch character additions remains to be seen. They are certainly not the only IPs that Team Asobi was previously considering for crossovers, as some recently revealed concept art revealed even more unused Astro Bot cameos based on Twisted Metal and The Fat Princess.
As for the potential cameos mentioned in the game”s credits, they offer a fairly varied mixture of both classic and modern IPs. While Croc: Legend of the Gobbos nowadays has the least name recognition out of the entire group, that might not be the case for much longer, as the iconic ”90s platformer is planned to receive a remaster in late 2024.
