HYBE IM Launches Major Season 2 Update, ‘Tears of the Goddess’, for ASTRA: Knights of Veda

HYBE IM :

November 1st, 2024 - Developer Flint and publisher HYBE IM are excited to announce the beginning of season 2 for 2D action MORPG ASTRA: Knights of Veda. Titled ‘Tears of the Goddess,’ the update introduces new relics, rewards, scenarios, and a dual-attribute 5-star character. 

‘Tears of the Goddess’ ushers in a captivating new chapter in the story of ASTRA: Knights of Veda, which has been downloaded over 4.5 million times since it launched on PC and mobile earlier this year. Continuing the story from the finale of Season 1, there is still much to discover in the world of Planis. 

In Season 2, players will encounter ‘Rhynara, the Winter Queen’, the very first recipient of the Book of Veda. Available as a 5-star character, Rhynara is a dual-attribute Water and Light type support character, bolstering allies in battle with buffs and bonuses. But Rhynara also packs a punch herself, unleashing a biting blizzard onto her enemies and wielding sharp ice crystals. 

The action doesn’t stop there. A 5-star enchantment scroll is also part of the update, and players can now use accessories and Tunic's Oblivion to reset items and reclaim upgrade materials based on the accumulated experience level. 

To celebrate the Season 2 update, HYBE  IM is hosting a series of events with a number of exciting rewards up for grabs until December 31st, including a 7-day log-in event which will give players the new ASTRA mascot, Mr. Pumpkin. Players can also take part in a variety of events such as login events, progression mission events, and play mission events, for further rewards. 

All players will receive a special ‘Season 2 Update Coupon’, which includes four Season 1 5-star character selection tickets, Starstones, and Crystal of Destiny. Players who complete specific missions will receive further rewards like an instant Season 1 5-Star Pick Up Exclusive Weapon Selection Ticket.
