The gaming community has high hopes forAstro Botand recent leaks from the gameplay footage have all but confirmed that this is the ultimate dream for every hardcore gamer. Players expected to see a handful of easter eggs, references, and even cameos from notable PlayStation mascots but did not expect to see more beyond the first-party purview.
Team Asobi apparently did not hold back and wanted to give other iconic video game franchises their time to shine in this project to see how far the game industry has come. There is no telling what other cameos are being held back.
The Leaked Gameplay Footage of Astro Bot Seemingly Suggests a Cameo Fest
Team Asobiis going all out with this game afterAstro’s Playroomwas universally praised and well-received by the community. This was despite the game being a tech demo that comes packed in on every PlayStation 5.
Trustworthy names in the game industry like Jeff Grub wereconvinced about the high possibility ofAstro Botwinning the Game of the Yeartitle after playing 20 minutes. It says a lot that winning Game of the Year, let alone being nominated along with other great video games is praise of the highest order.
Sony has a diverse portfolio of first-party games, and this is the perfect opportunity to show camaraderie by featuring other video game franchises outside the company’s ecosystem.
In the official reveal trailer, players saw other references and easter eggs from first-party PlayStation franchises like Astro donning the iconic beard and Leviathan Axe of Kratos from theGod of Wargames and giving the charactera cosmetic item that is directly inspired by theBloodbornegameto honor the fans who are still begging for a remaster.
Third-party franchises like Resident Evil were also spotted in the leaked footage. However, that did not stop Sony to go through extreme lengths and reaching out to Activision and Microsoft for theCrash BandicootandSpyrofranchises to be represented in the game.
Both franchises were made by Naughty Dog and Insomniac Games respectively. Other Naughty Dog franchises likeThe Last of UsandUnchartedwill be featured and fans applaud Team Asobi’s attention to detail.

Modern triple-A video games cost a fortune to develop and it is only reasonable for the studio to try and make money back. Hopefully, the price will not affect or cloud a player’s judgment and the game will justify their money’s worth.
This game will serve as a celebration for the gaming community. The number of iconic cameos will connect the dots and bring everyone together. There is no telling who else will show up. Fans are eager to see how each character will be represented.
