PlayStation’s upcoming 3D platformer Astro Bot will take between 12-15 hours to complete, according to the game’s creative director Nicolas Doucet. There will be a lot of collectibles to find, however.
Astro Bot Completion Length Revealed
During an interview withJulien Chièze on YouTube, Doucet revealed the time it would take to complete Astro Bot and explained why it wasn’t 20 to 30 hours long. When asked how long Astro Bot will be, the French director said (through a rough YouTube translation), “I would say between 12 and 15 hours long.” He then added that it’s a game in which you collect a lot of characters and revisit levels. “It can be longer but that never really [has] been the focus; we never said to ourselves it has to be 20-30 hours of play,” he said. Doucet said that the development team at Asobo Studio wants to keep the tempo and the quality of each level rather than focus on an excess of content.
Astro Bot Makes His Triumphant Return With a New Self-Titled PS5 Game
After making their return via a PS5 pack-in game, Astro Bot returns to the PS5 for what looks to be their biggest platformer yet.
PlayStation has revealed there will be more than 300 characters to find in Astro Bot. Similarly to the last game,Astro’s Playroom, characters from the brand’s past like God of War’s Kratos, Ratchet, and Ape Escape’s Spike can be found within the bright environments of this 3D platformer. They are all in bot form, just like the main protagonist, however. Additionally, we know there will be 80 levels to finish throughout Astro’s upcoming journey. You’ll also be riding in a new vehicle called the Dual Speeder, adding more variety to this 3D platformer just like the classic Jak & Daxter series.
Astro Bot Standard Edition will be $60
Astro Bot’s standard edition will cost $60, but if you want more content, the digital deluxe edition costs $10 extra. It will come with the following:
There will also be pre-order bonuses that include the PaRappa The Rapper-inspired Lovestruck Lyricist outfit, the Glorious Griffiti Dual Speeder paint color, and two Astro Avatars.
Whether or not a non-Nintendo 3D platformer is worth $60 or $70 is a choice you’ll have to make. However, if Astro Bot is anything like the currently freeAstro’s Playroom, it could even rival the Italian plumber. Astro Bot will be releasing exclusively for the PS5 on September 6 this year.

Renaine may be taking a while, but it’s been charming from the start, not letting up in the slightest in its years of development.
