Astra Nova is an open-world RPG set in a world on the brink of destruction, offering players a mix of engaging storytelling, strategic gameplay, and science fiction. It is free to play and developed by Rogue Sentinel Studios, based in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

The game will offer a new and unique Web3 experience, an idea that relies on the existence of digital objects that cannot be repeatedly owned, used, or even sold to another player. With each new play session in the playtests, the first of which began on May 27, players will discover more secrets of Astra Nova and witness the growth and refinement of its systems and playstyles, knowing that it has more than 5 unique worlds and more than 15 different human races. Many of them will be directly hostile to the players.

Imagine living this unique experience that takes place in a universe on the brink of collapse, and five worlds in a deplorable state after being destroyed by violent bloody conflicts, knowing that these civilizations were once powerful and prosperous, before being devoured by a cosmic parasite, known as “The Accretion”.

The game also features powerful graphics and artificial intelligence technologies that could advance the video game industry in the Arab region, and Rogue Sentinel Studios will release the demo version of Astra Nova later this month.
