The chances of a sequel ever coming out are second to none, but Astro Bot has at least taken the time to remember the PS4 exclusive The Order: 1886 in today’s latest speedrun level. As long as you beat the clock in Hard to Bear, available today as part of a new PS5 update, you’ll find Sir Galahad, lead character of The Order: 1886, waiting at the end. He then appears in the game’s main hub area wielding his electric gun.
Twitter user @SpyroRichard captured the hub animation, viewable below:
This is the penultimate speedrun level of the latest batch confirmed by Team Asobi, with one more in Armored Hardcore arriving next week on 13th March. Alongside the new Sir Galahad, this latest batch of levels has also brought Heihachi Mishima from Tekken, Toan from Dark Cloud, and Jade out of Beyond Good & Evil to the excellent PS5 platformer.
As for The Order: 1886 and developer Ready at Dawn, the latter has unfortunately closed after a stint of VR titles. Co-founder Andrea Pessino recently stated in an interview that a sequel to the PS4 title was pitched to Sony, but the platform holder turned it down. With a Metacritic rating of 63, Pessino believed it was the generally negative reception the game received that stopped Sony from green-lighting a follow-up.
Will you be playing Astro Bot today in order to set a record time and rescue Sir Galahad? Let us know in the comments below.
