Yamat DLC is live, new Roadmap & Yalee Plushies!
6 months ago – Mon, Jul 29, 2024 at 08:08:38 AM

Yamat DLC and 1.6 version are now live on Steam!


You can find everything about Yamat, the 1.6 version and more here - Steam Newsletter

We promised this 5th playable during the Kickstarter campaign back in April 2021, what a journey since then! Adding a new hero with all the features we added in the meantime, the 2 voice over languages and more was a lot of work and we are really happy about the results and we are hoping you will like her as much as we do!

If you have a Steam key from Kickstarter for the game, you can claim a Yamat DLC key for free as promised on our Discord Server in the #kickstarter-rewards channel.

If you have a digital or physical console reward, the Yamat DLC keys are not ready to be claimed yet, we hope to have the DLC released and the keys soon! (aimed for August 5 for PS4/PS5 and August12 for Switch)

Speaking of Physical editions, the Limited Run Games edition pre-orders are done and they should start manufacturing the copies really soon with an estimated shipping for october-november 2024! 

Yalee plushies!

The most wanted Merch from our discord servers related polls was Yalee Plushies (obviously) so we launched a petition on Makeship to have them crafted and we need 200 people interested for them to happen, more details in the Steam Newsletter.

Aren't they adorable?

Roadmap to 2.0

We are really happy to announce that, even if the new promised Hero DLC release seemed like the end for Astral Ascent updates, so much more is already planned and in the work!

You can once again see more of it in the Steam Newsletter with teasing of what is coming next!

This newsletter was shorter than usual because it's a lot of work to create the newsletter in Steam and Kickstarter, especially for such a big newsletter!

Have an excellent week everyone, we hope you will enjoy what we worked on!

Physical Versions - physical rewards locked soon!
6 months ago – Wed, Jul 10, 2024 at 08:54:00 AM

Hello everyone!

We hope you are excited for the Yamat DLC coming on July 29th!

Limited Run Games is almost done with their preorders which is an excellent news as it means that the shipping is getting much closer, announced between Nov 12 to Dec 12 2024! 

As they preorders are about to end, we need to send them a final list of backers, rewards and shipping addresses, we will lock that at the end of the week, on Sunday 14th, so you have 4 days left to pay for shipping fees if you didn't already and to update your shipping address if needed!

You can still use this address if you need to update that - 


Past this point, the list will be considered as final and you might not be able to change your address anymore (or maybe by contacting LRG but we do not know if that would be possible)

Let us know if you have questions about this and have a great day!

Physical Versions Update
8 months ago – Wed, May 22, 2024 at 10:56:46 PM

Hello Everyone!

This news is aimed for Physical Backers from Kickstarter and Backerkit regarding the Limited Run Games (LRG) versions and Physical items.

First thing is that if you didn't pay your Shipping Fees or Backerkit Cart (we have 152 backers in total in this situation), we won't be able to secure physical items for you, for example exclusive backer cover and other physical elements detailed below will have a limited amount of extra stock. We will send final count of exclusive items to LRG at the end of the day so the 152 backers still have a chance to secure their exclusive items.

We will wait before final shipment to lock final backers list and lock adresses which you can still update here for now - 

---

Second thing to note is that LRG will start producing the Physical rewards very soon which includes -

  • Exclusive Physical cover for Backers
  • Pin's are now exclusive to Kickstarter/Backerkit
  • Zodiac cards are now exclusive to Kickstarter/Backerkit
  • Genga prints are now exclusive to Kickstarter/Backerkit

Ayla figures have already been produced, all physical elements will be shipped at once and for that LRG need all the physical copies to be created, they will soon open their pre-orders for one month this summer and after that they will be able to send to manufacturers and get the copies and start shipping. 

Sadly it means that the physical rewards shipping should happen in Q4 2024! We are really sorry about these delays but things are moving along so you do not have to worry about that.

Thanks for your understanding and patience,

Have a great day!
