A major update is landing in Astraeos this June, and it’s bringing more than just fresh scenery; this update unveils an entirely new frontier! Nestled deep in this upcoming expansion is a breathtaking Redwood region, where towering trees meet ancient ruins, colossal statues stand watch, and hidden secrets wait in the shadows of caves, including a stunning glacier cave!

This lush and mysterious biome isn’t just a feast for the eyes, it’s packed with prime building spots, brand-new points of interest to uncover, and will become the new home of the majestically floofy Snow Owls. Whether you’re a fearless explorer, a creative builder, or a seasoned tamer on the hunt, the Redwoods are calling. Your next great adventure begins here!
