Astra: Knights of Veda, the dark fantasy gacha RPG, will officially shut down its servers on June 26, 2026, ending its service just over a year after launch. The announcement, shared across community forums and confirmed by official channels, marks a surprising end for a game that initially drew attention for its gothic art style, side-scrolling combat, and narrative ambition.
As we remember, the game was released in April 2025, Astra: Knights of Veda sought to stand out in the crowded gacha market by combining Metroidvania-inspired exploration with RPG progression and collectible heroes. Despite strong early interest, the game struggled to maintain momentum, with players citing issues such as aggressive monetization, repetitive content loops, and limited updates.
This is just another example of the volatility of the gacha RPG market, where even visually striking games can falter without consistent updates and balanced monetization. Personally, the appeal of Knights of Veda was always its unique gothic tone and side-scrolling combat, which felt refreshing compared to more conventional gacha systems. Yet the lack of long-term support made it difficult for players to stay invested.
The shutdown will affect all servers worldwide, with HYBE IM confirming that service will cease on June 26, 2026. Refund policies and final event schedules are expected to be detailed in upcoming notices, giving players a chance to spend remaining currency before closure. Here is the Google Play Store link.
