🎮 Did Astro Bot Just Bury Sackboy for Good? Here’s Why PlayStation Fans Are Freaking Out

Published by M.D at May 2, 2025
  1. Sackboy’s Disappearance from the PlayStation Intro — What Happened?
  2. Enter Astro Bot: The New Mascot of PlayStation?
  3. R.I.P. Sackboy (2008–2025)? Or Just a Temporary Goodbye?
  4. ❓FAQs About Sackboy’s Removal and Astro Bot’s Rise

Astro Bot may have just taken the final step to becoming PlayStation’s new face, and that might spell the end for a certain stitched-up hero we've loved for years — Sackboy.

Since the PlayStation 3 days, Sackboy from LittleBigPlanet was more than just a platforming icon — he was PlayStation’s adorable poster child. But now? He might be getting stitched out of history.

Sackboy’s Disappearance from the PlayStation Intro — What Happened?

Astro Bot Just Bury Sackboy

PlayStation fans recently noticed something strange while watching Until Dawn in theaters — Sackboy is gone from the latest cinematic intro. Yep, the same Marvel-style sequence that features legends like Kratos and Nathan Drake no longer gives our knitted buddy the spotlight he once had.

Sure, Sackboy was still in it recently... but so tiny you’d miss him if you blinked. Now, he’s completely out — and fans like @Radec (huge PS fan) are calling it the end of an era.

Enter Astro Bot: The New Mascot of PlayStation?


While Media Molecule — Sackboy’s original creators — haven’t been shut down, they haven’t worked on anything since Dreams. And Sackboy’s last outing in 2020 was handled by Sumo Digital, not the OG devs.

Meanwhile, Astro Bot has been climbing the ranks fast. After charming fans on PS5 with Astro’s Playroom, he's become a fan-favorite and a real contender for PlayStation's go-to mascot. At this rate, it looks like the torch has officially been passed.

R.I.P. Sackboy (2008–2025)? Or Just a Temporary Goodbye?


Sackboy had a solid run. He was cute, creative, and a big part of what made PS3 and PS4 so unique. But with Sony leaning into characters like Astro, Kratos, and even Sam Porter Bridges (Death Stranding), Sackboy might’ve quietly taken his final bow.

Of course, nothing is confirmed officially — yet. But fans are already pouring one out for their favorite yarn legend.

❓FAQs About Sackboy’s Removal and Astro Bot’s Rise

1Is Sackboy officially gone from PlayStation’s intro?
Not officially confirmed — but he was missing from the latest version shown with Until Dawn.
2Who replaced Sackboy as the main PlayStation mascot?
Astro Bot is widely considered his spiritual successor.
3Is Media Molecule still making Sackboy games?
No. Sackboy’s last game was developed by Sumo Digital, and Media Molecule hasn't worked on him since Dreams.
4Will Sackboy return in the future?
Anything’s possible, but for now, it looks unlikely.
