Speaking on the Official PlayStation podcast in a joint interview with Astro Bot director Nicolas Doucet, the head of PlayStation studios commented on the importance of Astro as a brand going forward for PlayStation.

“Astro is very, very important to PlayStation,” said Hulst. “Obviously we had the pre-install with the PlayStation 5 that millions have embraced and loved, and I think that’s becoming a little bit of a platform to launch this new game now.

“It’s remarkable that a very small team is able to deliver a game that is so big, it’s really become a great game in itself, and it’s become a celebration of everything PlayStation at this point.”

If so, I hope we get a sequel, even if the game doesn’t set sell charts on fire

Lol how about you wait for the digital splits and give the game grace till next year after the Black Friday and Xmas season to see what Sony really does with it.

It's Astro's first major release it will be a slow burn.

What a dumb thing to say. I’d be surprised if you have the mental capacity to tie you own shoes or wipe your own ass.

Bro went to from 0 to 100 over nothing. I never thought I'd see the day someone would cheer for Astro of all games to be a flop (which it isn't) .. so weird

This game will obviously be a good seller for them this holiday
