Leaker Billlbil-Kun on Dealabs, who has accurately leaked the PlayStation Plus lineup in the past, is claiming a new Astro Bot game is in development for the PlayStation 5 and it will be announced in the next 15 days.
"According to our information, a new game from the Astro universe is being prepared by the Team Asobi studio," said the leaker (via Google Translate). "We think (although we are not 100% certain) that it will simply be called Astro Bot."
The leaker added, "Among other information we have obtained, it seems that part of the game will be playable in an environment located in the heart of a desert . One of the new characters in this game would be a fennec fox in the form of a robot sharing some similarities with Astro."
It is reported the game will be for the PlayStation 5 and it will not require a PlayStation VR2.

Best case scenario is that the game is enhanced for PSVR2 but does not require it.
I understand your concern about potential costs
I will be all over a new Astro game! As long as it's not VR only lol
I platinumed the showcase demo for the ps5,
And I wouldn't mind another...
And yes hopefully it won't be stuck in vr2 like the previous iteration only on vr1
I think it won't have VR support at all
Good! Bring some variety, Sony!
Hmmm hope they have more psp vita content in this version of the game and more fun nostalgic refrences.
I haven't been able to play Astro Bots Rescue because it requires VR. Hopefully this new title doesn't require VR. Astro's Playroom is a great little game that celebrates PlayStation and uses the DualSense masterfully.
I hope it's free like the first one, but I know better. Either way, I'll be playing it day one because it's my favorite PS5 title... by far.
It was a neat pack in launch game but like Snail Maze I don't know if I would pay money for it. I wish Japan studio was back to make more diverse stuff again.
