One of the year’s best games, Astro Bot, is not quite done yet, with developer Team Asobi announcing today plans to bring five speedrun levels to the game over the coming weeks. The first level, called Building Speed, will be released on October 17th, with a new level releasing each subsequent week. Each of the five speedrun levels will also add two new special bots for you to rescue, including the Helldivers and Eve from Stellar Blade.

The speedrun challenges were a big hit in 2020’s Astros Playroom, so it’s nice to see them bringing them back. Of course, the best part is that these will be free content updates for Astro Bot. Here is the weekly release schedule, with each drop happening at 9:00AM Eastern Time:

  • Oct 17: Building Speed  
  • Oct 24: Let it Slide 
  • Oct 31: Spring-loaded Run 
  • Nov 7: Helium Heights 
  • Nov 14: Rising Heat
