Astro Bot Devs Talk About Crafting the Perfect Platformer in New Dev Diary

As a seasoned gamer with a soft spot for platformers, the anticipation for Astro Bot is like a kid on Christmas Eve. With years of gaming under my belt, I’ve seen the ebb and flow of genres, and it’s been a while since we’ve had a solid Sony offering in this department. The behind-the-scenes dev diaries are just the icing on the cake, giving us a glimpse into the meticulous crafting of gameplay that promises a smooth, rhythmic, and responsive adventure.


Over the past few years, there haven’t been many platformers from Sony, so it’s understandable that fans who are passionate about this genre are eagerly anticipating the release of Astro Bot. With each recent demonstration, the upcoming platformer has been looking more and more appealing, and before its launch, Sony along with developer Team Asobi have started a new series of development diaries to provide insights into the game’s creation.

The initial video highlights the meticulous process of fine-tuning the gameplay and movement mechanics in a platformer, featuring team members discussing the seamless flow and fluidity of movement, the timing of player actions during real-time gameplay, and the immediate reaction to actions. Take a look at the video below, and keep an eye out for four more exclusive making-of videos coming soon.

On September 6, Astro Bot makes its debut on PlayStation 5. To build anticipation for its upcoming arrival, Sony has shared a launch trailer. You can watch it by clicking here. Critics’ reviews for this platformer game will start appearing online on September 5.
