The idea behind the title is to use PlayStation and characters to be part of the adventure. This game will feature giant bosses that will utilize all of the DualSense controller’s capabilities. Team Asobi is launching the game in September.

The game uses the controller, unlike any other title on the console. The entire power of DualSense, with the adaptive triggers and the haptic feedback, is a crucial part of the gameplay experience. The bosses in Astro’s Playroom serve solely to test the DualSense features.

This time, the title will offer a completely new gameplay experience, featuring more levels and real bosses that could be extremely challenging to defeat. The release date of the game is also shared and it is set to launch on September 6, and the game will be available to pre-order since June 7.

There is no official price confirmation for the title, but fans are hoping that this game will not be sold for $70. This was the major revelation that Sony had set aside for release this year. The company has already confirmed that more AAA budget titles will only be coming at some point in 2025.

The event also included other updates like the release date of God of War Ragnarok for PC and many other new IPs that will be available this year or at some point in 2025. Fans knew that this particular event would not feature any big reveals, but their hopes were high.
