The first of Astro Bot's new speedrun levels will arrive tomorrow, Sony and developer Team Asobi have announced, along with ten new Special Bots that need rescuing.
In a PlayStation Blog post, Team Asobi studio director Nicolas Doucet says that the first speedrun level, Building Speed, will arrive tomorrow, October 17th. It'll come alongside an online leaderboard to allow you to compare your skills with the rest of the Astro Bot community.
Building Speed will equip you with bulldog dash boost powerup Barkster, alongside whom you'll need to "blast your way through a sky-high city", dodging obstacles like cranes and "a flying car wash" on your way to the goal.
From this point on, you'll be getting a new speedrun level in Astro Bot every week, so you'll have something to keep you busy if you're looking for an excuse to keep playing Team Asobi's delightful platformer.
Next week's level is called Let it Slide, followed by Spring-loaded Run on Halloween, Helium Heights on November 7th, and Rising Heat on November 14th. It's not clear if the weekly speedrun levels will continue after that.
Naturally, this update also brings ten new bots for you to...
