Astro Bot Leaked Platinum Trophy Hints At Sequel

Summary

Astro Bot’s trophy list has leaked online ahead of its launch next week and its Platinum trophy seems to be hinting that a sequel is already in discussion.

It feels like just yesterday whenPlayStationannounced thatAstro Bot was finally getting a fully-fledged sequel during its Summer State of Play, but we’re actually only a few days away from the game’s launch. That has definitely been proven thanks tosome leaks that have been popping up here and there over the past few weeks, with the latest one being the trophy list.

The trophy list for Astro Bot popped up over on Exophase earlier today, suggesting that some people out there have their hands on the game and have started making some progress. Although a lot of the trophies are just for collectibles and cameos, there is one very interesting tidbit that should make fans excited about Astro’s future.

Astro Bot 2 Might Already Be A Possibility

As pointed out by Twitter user Wario64, the Platinum trophy for Astro Bot has a very interesting little detail. While the others just describe what you’ve done to earn the trophy, the Platinum says, “Earned all Trophies. Well done and see you in Astro’s next adventure”, something that obviously hasn’t been confirmed yet.

The Platinum trophy for Astro’s Playroom had this message, “Found all trophies in ASTRO’s PLAYROOM. See you in our next adventure!”, which is less specifically about Astro.

Although it’s likely just meant as a nice message from Team Asobi and nothing concrete, it does suggest that the developers are interested in making more Astro Bot games. It seems very unlikely that work has already started on Astro Bot 2, but considering all the buzz that Astro Bot has, it’s likely to have earned a lot of confidence from PlayStation.

Interestingly, the difference between the Platinum in Astro’s Playroom and Astro Bot is the mention of it being Astro’s next adventure, suggesting that Team Asobi has already decided that it’s sticking with the bot for its next big release. We can only hope, anyway, since Astro Bot looks like it’s absolutely going to slap.
