After numerous awards, Astro Bot unexpectedly became a hit, winning the hearts of gamers worldwide.
The success of the platformer has attracted the attention of the corporation, and it has big plans for the project, but the game's creators are not going to give up full control without resistance.
Astro Bot's game director, Nicolas Doucet, noted in an interview that Team Asobi will defend creative independence even against pressure from Sony. The studio strives to maintain a balance between its own idea and the corporation's ambitions, which could determine the future of the series.
Players have been receiving free updates for a long time. Although an official sequel and new DLC have not been confirmed, statements from Sony representatives make it clear that the Astro Bot brand will develop as a "constantly reborn" one. Fans can expect new surprises.
It remains to be hoped that corporate decisions will not harm the success and reputation of Astro Bot, and that the future of the series will remain in the hands of the developers.
