Nexus (넥써쓰) said on the 22nd that pre-registration has started for the MMORPG Astellia2 (아스텔리아2). Inven reported that Nexus is running it with a global partner, Reporeu Games (레포르게임즈). The game supports mobile and PC, and players can carry on playing after changing device. [ 1 , 2 , 3 ]

Astellia2 will be offered as a domestic version and a global version that includes blockchain features. In the global version, players raise a season ranking through play and missions, earn rewards, and can convert them into $AtraX tokens for use in the One Chain (원체인) ecosystem, according to the three outlets. [ 1 , 2 , 3 ]

The game continues the world setting of the PC MMORPG Astellia (아스텔리아). Players choose one of six classes, including Knight and Mage, and adventure with a companion called Astel. Inven and Gamemeca said supported languages include English, Thai and Indonesian. [ 1 , 2 , 3 ]

Boss content covers cooperation and competition. In Boss Subjugation, several players take on a large boss together. In Boss Contest, two teams compete for one boss. [ 1 , 2 , 3 ]

Pre-registration is open on ONEstore and Google Play, according to Inven and Kyunghyang Games. Every participant receives summon tickets and character growth items, and rewards such as rare summon tickets and in-game currency are added in stages as cumulative sign-ups grow. [ 1 , 2 ]

Nexus is also working with ONEstore beyond pre-registration. ONEquest, a reward quest service, is to encourage participation in the game, and ONEwave, a streamer platform, is to support game guide content and community activity. [ 1 , 2 , 3 ]

Why it matters

The coverage gives no release date or sales figures, so the significance is modest. It shows a game launching in two forms, with a token-based reward system only in the global version.
