Team Asobi has released a new update for Astro Bot today that completes the latest batch of content drops for the game, with players now able to sample the Armored Hardcore stage and rescue a new bot – Assassin’s Creed’s Ezio Auditore da Firenze!
The timing couldn’t be better, as Assassin’s Creed Shadows comes out next week. Sure, Ezio himself isn’t in the game, but he’s synonymous with the franchise by this point more than 15 years after hits debut in Assassin’s Creed II. He also starred in Assassin’s Creed Brotherhood and Assassin’s Creed Revelations, as well as appearing in various short films including Assassin’s Creed Embers, Assassin’s Creed Lineage, and Assassin’s Creed Ascendance.
Ezo’s armour also turned up in latter day Assassin’s Creed games to be equipped by the player, and the Italian assassin also appeared as a guest character in Soul Calibur VI. So yes, it’s fair to say he’s quite a popular chap!

The new Astro Bot content also comes with a new Trophy that you can unlock, which is known as Rolling Rescue. At this point it’s not known if Team Asobi is planning anymore free content for Astro Bot, but given that the game hasn’t even been out for a year yet, there’s every chance we may get some more goodies down the line.
Astro Bot was released for PS5 in September 2024 and scooped up huge praise from critics as well as earning numerous Game of the Year accolades.
