Report: New Astro Bot Game for PS5 to Be Announced in Next 15 Days
It’s been rumored previously that Sony was going to host a PlayStation event or something this month, and while the company hasn’t announced anything just yet, some bits of info on what could be part of it has surfaced online, and it seems to be a new Astro Bot game for PS5 (not PSVR2).
The news comes from reliable insider billbil-kun posting on French website Dealabs who mentioned that the game is expected to be announced in the next 15 days. In addition to that, the game might simply be titled “Astro,” and part of the game is set in a desert environment, and one of the new characters is a “fennec fox in the form of a robot.” There is no release date that they know of just yet, but from what billbil-kun believes, it’s headed to PS5 and not PlayStation VR2. If true, this is a major departure from the last Astro game Sony has released, which is Astro’s Playroom that was a tech demo of sorts released for the PSVR2 and developed by Team Asobi.
Chances are, if we do get a PlayStation event this month, this new Astro game for PS5 will be part of the announcements.
XboxEra writer and known leaker Shpeshal_Nick has mentioned on Twitter that there is a PlayStation show set around the 28th.
I’m hearing the PlayStation show (again, still not sure on its label) should be around the 28th (give or take for timezones and such I guess)

Of course, this new Astro game and even the purported PlayStation show have not been confirmed by Sony, so as such, treat these with a grain of salt for now. Having said that, billbil-kun has been very spot-on in his leaks and insider info, so we expect this one to be the real deal as well.
