Astro Bot update hints at potential Final Fantasy and Kingdom Hearts cameos

The recent Astro Bot Winter Wonder update introduced Gex, a character from a Square Enix-owned series. This marks the first acknowledgment of Astro Bot by Square Enix since the game's launch, raising hopes for future cameos from popular franchises like Final Fantasy and Kingdom Hearts. Fans have long requested characters from these major franchises, which have been absent from Astro Bot. The interaction between Square Enix and Team ASOBI has sparked speculation that more iconic characters could soon join the game, including favorites like Cloud Strife and Sora. While Sora's inclusion is complicated due to Disney ownership, recent updates have shown that unexpected characters can be added. Other Square Enix franchises, such as Dragon Quest and NieR: Automata, are also potential sources for new cameos in Astro Bot.
