Hello, Commanders.
This is Sunny, the Project Director of ASTROKINGS.
March is here, and half of the world is welcoming the start of spring, a time when new life blooms after the cold, while the other half is transitioning into fall, with cooler winds replacing the heat. Commander, how are you all doing during this change of season?
We’ve noticed many of you are curious about the developer's note we shared back in November 2024. To give you more details about our plans for 2025, we’re sharing another developer’s note today.
Following up on the previous note, we’re excited to give you a closer look at what’s coming in 2025.
▶ New PvE Content
We’re planning to introduce some new PvE content during the first half of this year.
This content will involve battles against NPCs with various strategies and abilities. Each NPC will challenge your tactical skills, providing an excellent opportunity to test and improve your strategies.
With this content, you’ll be able to enjoy fresh challenges every day, compete with other commanders, and fine-tune your strategies. It’ll be a great way to strengthen your fleets and improve your tactics as you prepare for future challenges.
We plan to start a beta service soon, and we’re really looking forward to hearing your feedback. Your input will help us make this content even more exciting and rewarding.
▶ New PvP Content
Following the new PvE content, we are also preparing fresh content for those who love the thrill of PvP battles.
While we’re not ready to share all the details just yet, rest assured that this new PvP content will offer a fresh, thrilling experience that’s unlike anything we’ve done before.
Our development team is working hard to ensure that this new PvP content is ready for release in the second half of 2025. We are excited to share more information with you soon.
▶ Collaboration Events
Our development team is constantly striving to bring new and exciting experiences to commanders, exploring new possibilities for collaboration.
In 2024, we held four collaboration events, featuring beloved IPs, including both classic IP revivals and two entirely new IPs. Although we've worked hard to bring you diverse and enjoyable collaborations, we understand that the content in these events didn’t fully provide the fresh experiences we aim for.
In 2025, we plan to reduce the number of collaboration events and focus on enriching the content within each event, making them more meaningful and providing commanders with a special experience.
Currently, our development team is preparing a collaboration with a famous movie title beloved by sci-fi fans worldwide. The 2025 collaboration events will offer even greater rewards and exciting content, and we are carefully ensuring that they blend seamlessly with the ASTROKINGS universe.
We will continue to listen to your feedback and work towards providing an ever-improving game experience.
▶ Limited Collaboration Heroes
Many of you have asked about the chance to recruit limited collaboration heroes again.
We recognize that there’s a need for this, but due to copyright and other restrictions, we haven’t been able to offer these heroes outside of the original collaboration events.
However, as ASTROKINGS has been running for over 6 years, and the variety of collaboration events has increased, we’ve run into situations where the revival period for some collaborations has become longer or even difficult to organize. This has led us to believe that we need to provide more opportunities for commanders to obtain heroes.
As a result, we will be releasing selected limited-time heroes as clone heroes, starting with those that haven’t been re-released for a while.
Due to copyright restrictions, the appearance of these heroes will be modified. However, we plan to offer commanders who missed the chance to recruit them after the original collaboration event another opportunity to do so, allowing them to build even stronger fleets.
Please understand that releasing all limited collaboration heroes as clone heroes will take time, and it may take a significant gap after the end of the original collaboration event. We appreciate your patience.
The first clone heroes will be revealed soon, and we will announce the release schedule via update notices. Stay tuned to see which limited heroes will return as clone heroes!
▶ Other Updates
In addition to content development, our team is working hard to improve ASTROKINGS in various ways.
We are carefully reviewing all the valuable suggestions from commanders to ensure you have the best gaming experience possible. Since the last developer's note, we've made updates such as visual improvements to the radar icon, added DNA tunnels to some flagships, improved fleet attack effects and more. We will continue to reflect as many of your suggestions as possible to enhance your gaming experience.
We are also focusing on improving game balance, especially exploring ways to speed up the progression of commanders in lower ranks, all while being careful not to undermine the efforts and achievements of our long-time commanders.
Our goal is to create a fair and enjoyable environment for all Commanders. We will continue to make continuous improvements to make ASTROKINGS even better.
We sincerely thank all our Commanders for your continued love and support for ASTROKINGS.
Sunny Choi
Commander of ASTROKINGS
