The beloved platformer game Astro Bot has just received a significant update adding five new challenge levels and several fan-favorite bots. The highlight of this content is the introduction of characters from the iconic Final Fantasy VII, namely Cloud and Sephiroth, who have been much anticipated by fans. Cloud can be unlocked by completing the challenge level titled High Inflation, while Sephiroth is obtained by finishing all five new levels in the Vicious Void Galaxy. Developers previously indicated that licensing issues with Square Enix might have prevented these characters from appearing, but now it seems the partnership has improved, allowing for their inclusion. The update also features other characters, including 2B from Nier: Automata and Serge from Chrono Cross. The initial success of Astro Bot, which sold 1.5 million units within two months and received a stellar 9/10 review rating, has clearly supported its ongoing expansion and updates.
