ASTRA: Knights of Veda Gets Huge Update Celebrating 100th Day Anniversary

HYBE IM :

Seoul, Korea, July 12 2024 -  HYBE IM has announced the latest update for its 2D action MORPG, ASTRA: Knights of Veda, celebrating the game’s 100th day of service. Events will be held until August 1st with a number of rewards available such as a 5-star weapon and 5-star characters along with Season 5 of the Tower of Trials and a brand new game mode, ‘Portrait of Thierry’. 

Consisting of 27 floors each guarded by a powerful boss, the roguelike ‘Portrait of Thierry’ mode challenges players to clear each floor in order to receive ‘Mystical Chromatics’ rewards that can be exchanged for new equipment. With ‘Portrait of Thierry’ and floors 9 to 12 of the Tower of Trials reset for Season 5, there is a wealth of content for players to enjoy.

This massive update also introduces the first dual-attribute playable character, 'Death Crown', a tank who wields a longsword and possesses the power of both Darkness and Fire. Overwhelming their enemies with an impressive array of offensive and defensive skills, ‘Death Crown’ can strike from the skies with the ‘Judgement of Death’ aerial drop as well as ‘Judgment of Darkness’ from the shadows by quickly approaching and attacking enemies through the element of surprise before they have a chance to react. 

During the same period, a special event will be held where several rewards will be given upon completing missions. These include a '5-star Halo', 'Crystals of Destiny', and 'Crystals of Fate.'  There will also be a double rewards event for adventure areas targeting returning players.

As the story of ASTRA: Knights of Veda continues with this latest update, HYBE IM plans to enhance its communication with players and continues to incorporate their feedback. The team behind the game has expressed its gratitude for ASTRA’s players by creating a special video, ‘Veda’s 100-Day Anniversary Tribute’. This infographic-style video showcases the stories players have created while enjoying the game and includes a 'Director's Coupon' offering generous rewards.

ASTRA: Knights of Veda is available on Steam, PC, iOS and Android. For more details, visit the website, join the Discord, and subscribe to the YouTube channel.
