Astro Bot is an important IP for PlayStation going forward, according to Hermen Hulst, CEO of Studio Business Group for Sony Interactive Entertainment.
The former Guerrilla Games boss made the comments during an appearance on the PlayStation podcast alongside Team Asobi’s Nicolas Doucet.
Astro is very, very important to PlayStation. 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.
