Double Fine has shot down fans who were hopeful for new games in the Banjo-Kazooie and Conkers Bad Fur Day franchises. These requests came after Double Fine posted to Twitter about the recently released Astro Bot, and some fans replied to the studio inquiring about the older platformers.
Astro Bot is a 3D platforming game by developer Team Asobi that follows the titular robot as it traverses 80 levels, spanning various galaxies and planets. The game was released to celebrate PlayStation's 30th anniversary and seemingly did so to great effect, as Astro Bot has risen to critical acclaim, becoming the highest-rated first-party launch on the PlayStation 5. The game's primary antagonist, Space Bully Nebulax, bears a striking resemblance to a character from the My Alien Buddy DLC from the 2013 release The Playroom. Developed by Team Asobi, The Playroom is a collection of Augmented Reality games for the PS4, and Double Fine made a DLC pack for the game with My Alien Buddy. Double Fine took to Twitter to point out the similarity with Astro Bot and congratulate Team Asobi on the game's success, but fans were much more interested in something else.
