15 minutes of Astro Bot footage leaked online

Once again, 15 minutes of Astro Bot have leaked online, giving us an early taste of what to expect when the game releases on September 6th.

One piece of news that probably won't surprise you: the video has already been removed from YouTube (though you can still find copies of it if you're willing to search for them). However, eagle-eyed fans were still able to sneak a peek at the main hub and catch a furtive glimpse of some of the bots that await us.

If you prefer to keep everything as a surprise, go back to Home now. For those who are excited and looking forward to a little taste, read on…

According to u/brolt0001, there wasn't much gameplay to see, but “it's nice that you get to see the different worlds,” and there's a “main hub” where “all the bots are gathered in one place, doing their own thing.”

Fans who were able to view the video before it was pulled mentioned special bot appearances by Trico, Machine, Leon Kennedy, Ryu and Ken from Street Fighter and Raiden, Gray Fox and Psycho Mantis from Metal Gear Solid.

Others spotted Kat and Raven from Gravity Rush, Octodad, Sly Cooper, Dante, Jill Valentine and Chris Redfield, the Joker from Persona 5, Cole from Infamous, Spyro, Pyramid Head and the cat from Stray.

The leak comes just weeks after another video – this time an eight-minute snippet – was leaked by ChinaJoy.

Have you seen the new DualSense controller inspired by Astro Bot? The controller itself offers all the features you'd expect from a DualSense, like adaptive triggers and haptic feedback. All of these features will be in use when Astro Bot launches next month.
