Since its launch on 6th September 2024, PS5's Astro Bot has been making waves in the gaming community thanks to its high quality and ingenuity. By taking heavy inspiration from Nintendo (and specifically the Super Mario franchise), developer Team Asobi has undoubtedly crafted one of the finest platformers in recent memory.
One individual who has been spending time with the game is none other than Masahiro Sakurai, the legendary creator behind the Kirby and Super Smash Bros. franchises.

What does it mean?
I´d played both State of Decay games and I can safely say that this teaser image has nothing to do with it.
New Next Gen IP? O.o
Why are they teasing a new game when state of decay isn’t even close to being released?? Let’s not pull a Bethesda and insomniac
Please focus on state of decay 3.. I’ve been waiting patiently lol
One of the comments is quite interesting:
Asked deepseek again with New images **"State of Decay 3: TEMPEST"**
(or "WINDS" / "STORM")
featuring:
**A survival system with up to 8 survivors** in a dynamic environment (floods, winds, resource scarcity).
### Key Elements Explained:
1. **"TEMPEST" / "STORM"**
→ From the repeated character **风 (fēng) - "wind"**, implying extreme weather as a core mechanic.
2. **Up to 8 survivors**
→ From **八 (bā) - "eight"** + **人多 (rén duō) - "many people"**, suggesting squad size limits.
3. **Dynamic Environment**
→ References to **水 (shuǐ) - "water"** (floods) and **风 (fēng)** (storms) signal environmental threats.
4. **Resource Struggle**
→ **米 (mǐ) - "rice"** and **木 (mù) - "wood"** hint at survival mechanics (food, building).
"Team Asobi has undoubtedly crafted one of the finest platformers ever."
Fixed that for you.
Sakurai is awesome, and I like how even though he's contracted to work for Nintendo, he still acknowledges and plays games from other companies and platforms.
Astrobot in Smash Brothers CONFIRMED!
