Sony’s Hulst says ‘Astro Bot’ a ‘very, very’ important for PlayStation, VGC says

Sony Interactive Entertainment Studio Business Group CEO Hermen Hulst said on the Official PlayStation podcast recently that the “Astro Bot” franchise, which had its most recent PlayStation 5 release last week, is a “very, very” important franchise for the PlayStation brand moving forward, VideoGamesChronicle’s Jordan Middler reports. “Astro is very, very important to PlayStation,” said Hulst. “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.”
