The upcoming Astro Bot game is set to make its debut in less than two weeks, and the team has shed more light on the adorable PlayStation cameos we can expect to meet on release. These in-game versions of popular PlayStation-related characters will include famous faces from PlayStation’s history, such as God of War’s Kratos, Aloy from the Horizon games, and treasure hunter Nathan Drake from Uncharted.
According to Team Asobi’s studio director Nicolas Doucet, the team had to get creative with the character design for these cameos. They had to balance a cool sci-fi design with organic materials, which sometimes meant substituting materials like hair with vinyl. The eyes were also a key focus, but this caused issues with some of the more cartoony characters.
To solve this problem, characters like Crash Bandicoot’s bot will wear a mask to help bridge the design gap. It will be interesting to see how these masks are designed and how they fit into the overall game.
