Missing Characters in Astro Bot
ASTRO Bot, the latest PlayStation exclusive, has been praised for its engaging gameplay and challenging levels. With platforming planets to explore and unique power-ups, the game has captured the hearts of players.
Notable Absences
While Astro Bot features over 150 characters from classic PlayStation games like Crash Bandicoot and Solid Snake, fans were quick to notice the absence of beloved characters like Cloud from Final Fantasy. Other popular series missing from the game include Dragon Quest, Kingdom Hearts, Nier, and Mana.
Square Enix's Decision
It was revealed that Square Enix, a major game publisher, chose not to cooperate with Team Asobi, the developers behind Astro Bot. Despite approaching various publishers for character cameos, Team Asobi faced a rare rejection from Square Enix.
Developer's Response
In an interview with Game File, Nicolas Doucet from Team Asobi shared insights into the process of securing cameo bots for Astro Bot. While most publishers were eager to participate, Square Enix's decision not to be included remains a mystery. Doucet emphasized the team's respect for each publisher's choice.
What's Next?
Despite the absence of Square Enix characters, Astro Bot's free DLC update is set to introduce new characters like Eve from Stellar Blade and a Helldiver before the year ends. The update will include 10 new cameos, adding more excitement to the game.
