Astra Nova: Ushering in a New Era of Web3 Gaming in the Middle East and North Africa

Ryhadh, Saudi Arabia - April 29, 2024

Astra Nova, poised to become Saudi Arabia's pioneering Web3 role-playing game (RPG), is set to revolutionize gaming in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region. With a globally distributed team of gaming and blockchain industry veterans, Astra Nova aims to push the boundaries of gaming through cutting-edge innovations, including artificial intelligence (AI) integration, user-generated content (UGC), and digital collectibles.

"Our mission is to create an unparalleled intellectual property and empower the gaming community in our region, aligning with Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030. Astra Nova is committed to inspiring Saudi gamers, driving innovation, and propelling the Kingdom's entertainment industry to global prominence," stated Faizy Ahmed, CEO and Co-Founder of Astra Nova.

Powered by the robust technology of Immutable and Hedera Hashgraph, and developed upon the highly acclaimed Unreal Engine 5, Astra Nova has been incubated by the Hashgraph Association and Gotbit, positioning it as the flagship game of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) region. The project is supported by a consortium of major partners, including the HBAR Foundation, Hashgraph Association, Crypto.com, FunToken, Gotbit, BTS Global, Nvidia, Microsoft Founder's Hub, Wemix, Immutable, Aethir, Portal Coin, Blade Wallet, Kairon Labs, Tillo, and Polygon DAO.

The Astra Nova team boasts a wealth of experience in game development, with members hailing from gaming industry giants such as Ubisoft, Technicolor, Rockstar, and Netflix. The team is further strengthened by advisors from leading Web3 firms, including Binance, Hedera, and Venture Capitals.

Astra Nova's Token Generation Event (TGE) is slated for Q2 2024, with over $1 million USD in investments secured from lead investors Hashgraph Ventures, Oxbull, MoonEdge, Vision, Kanga, Spicy Capital, Equinox, BTS Labs, Sensei Capital, and MENA investors from Saudi Arabia, Dubai, and Oman.

"The prototype demo is available for desktop on the Steam Store and will be distributed to other platforms, including the Epic Games Store. Our roadmap includes expansions to consoles like PlayStation and Xbox, while a mobile version is in the works through our strategic cloud gaming partnership with Aethir.

Astra Nova is also developing a loyalty SocialFi platform, "The Black Pass," which will serve as a points farming platform with a competitive edge. Initially conceived as a platform for airdropping game tokens, it will eventually evolve into a central hub for tracking players' in-game activity, becoming the game's official Web3 reward platform.
