Astro Bot may soon be adding even more DLC, one of which could introduce Tomba to its cast of characters. That's according to a recent change to the game that was spotted by one eagle-eyed Astro Bot player.
Team Asobi's hit platformer debuted to widespread acclaim on September 6. The Japanese developer announced a wave of free DLC for the game in the form of five speedrunning levels shortly afterward. The last addition from this group, Astro Bot's Rising Heat, launched on November 14.

Astro Bot Crosses Impressive Sales Milestone
Sony reveals sales numbers for its critically-acclaimed 3D platformer Astro Bot, which released exclusively on PS5 two months ago.
But this may not be the end of Astro Bot post-launch content, at least if the latest version of the game's credits is to be believed. As spotted by Reddit user AssanChop, Team Asobi recently quietly updated Astro Bot's credits, which now include a mention of Tomba Special Edition. This implies that Tomba and potentially some other characters from the classic game could soon make their way to the hit platformer.

Tomba Is Currently More Relevant Than It's Been in Years
Originally released in 1997 as a PlayStation exclusive, Tomba recently made a comeback in the form of a remaster. Called Tomba Special Edition, the new version of the game launched for the PS5, Nintendo Switch, and PC on August 1. The classic platformer is hence currently more relevant than it has been in years, so the possibility of its Astro Bot crossover isn't as random as it might seem at first.

Tomba Special Edition isn't the only potential Astro Bot crossover that the game's credits have recently hinted at. Both its Rise of the Ronin and Stellar Blade cameos were previously telegraphed in advance in this manner. The current version of Astro Bot's credits also mentions a number of Ubisoft franchises: Assassin's Creed, Beyond Good and Evil, and Rayman. Ditto for Worms and Croc: Legend of the Gobbos. None of these IPs have yet made their way to the game.
All Potential Astro Bot Crossovers Mentioned in the Game's Credits
Assassin's Creed Beyond Good & Evil Croc: Legend of the Gobbos Rayman Tomba Special Edition Worms
Astro Bot's initial DLC lineup included five themed levels. The game's credits hence currently hint at enough additional crossovers for a second wave of add-ons of similar size. Seeing how the platformer's post-launch levels were all free so far, it's plausible that any new DLC will also be offered to players at no extra cost. If Team Asobi is indeed planning more content for Astro Bot, it likely won't be long before the studio announces as much. Since October 17, the critically acclaimed game has received one new free speedrunning level every Thursday.
