Like its predecessor, Astro Bot is a love letter to PlayStation--not just its current make-up, either, but its illustrious history. From first-party icons like Kratos and Ellie to third-party heroes tied to the hip with Sony's gaming past, such as Lara Croft and Leon S. Kennedy. There are 169 hidden cameo characters in Astro Bot's dozens of levels, and part of the fun is tracking them all down. The game doesn't seem to use any specific name for them, but players have taken to calling them cameo bots, secret bots, or hidden bots, depending on who you ask. Whatever you call them, they're made much more reachable thanks to our Astro Bot collectibles guide, which reveals an in-game mechanic that allows you to track down hidden cameo bots with ease. It's not the only hidden in-game mechanic either, as you can unlock a secret photo mode in Astro Bot, too. Whether you're still tracking down all of the secret characters in Astro Bot or you just want to see if your favorite character made it into the game, here's a roundup of all the secret bots we've found so far. Very soon, we'll have tracked down every last one of the 169 hidden cameo bots, so stay tuned as this gallery of heroes and villains past and present continues to grow bigger. Because the in-game gallery of characters uses pseudonyms for each of them, we've labeled them with their proper names and mentioned which series they belong to.
