Astro Bot continues to expand with free updates, introducing new levels and Special Bots that celebrate PlayStation's character history. The latest update features Cloud Strife and Sephiroth, addressing previous omissions likely due to publisher agreements. Team Asobi's studio head, Nicolas Doucet, indicated that respecting publisher choices influenced character selection. While the inclusion of these iconic characters marks a positive development, many others remain absent, prompting speculation about the potential for future updates that might include characters like Sora from Kingdom Hearts, although licensing issues may pose challenges.
Team Asobi released free updates for Astro Bot, adding new levels and Special Bots reflecting PlayStation characters including Cloud Strife and Sephiroth from Final Fantasy.
Nicolas Doucet explained the previous absence of notable characters was due to publisher respect, hinting at Square Enix's initial reluctance to include Cloud and Sephiroth.
The introduction of Cloud Strife and Sephiroth as Special Bots signifies a shift in publisher agreements, indicating potential for future character inclusions in upcoming updates.
Despite new additions, Astro Bot still misses several iconic characters, raising hope for Sora from Kingdom Hearts, although licensing with Disney may complicate this.
