ASTRA, the indie game brand launched by video production company Astro Production, has two announced projects: the rhythm action game MoonHack and the cybercrime hunt adventure "Humanity Optimization Plan Eden Protocol - Order of 2125." MoonHack is set for a 2027 Steam release and will be playable at Tokyo Game Show 2026.
Astro Production, a video production company, announced the establishment of its indie game brand ASTRA on June 16, 2026. The brand develops experience-based action adventure games that emphasize story immersion, emotional music, and integrated visual direction, with titles launching primarily on Steam for audiences in Japan and Asia.
ASTRA's first announced project is the cybercrime hunt adventure "Humanity Optimization Plan Eden Protocol - Order of 2125," revealed on June 24 for PC. The game is set in 2125, where an AI system called AEGIS manages human emotions, relationships, and actions under the "AI Act" to maintain a zero-crime society. Players act as surveillance collaborators who analyze citizens' data to find and restrain violators. Twelve criminals have been revealed, charged with offenses ranging from major system modification to excessive sugar intake. The cast includes voice actors from the Acacia group, such as Yusei Kano and Momoka Sae, with Rie Tachibana voicing protagonist Yamada Sovereign. The game is priced at 3,980 G and an ARG-style promotion is running on social media.
The second project, MoonHack, will be exhibited at Tokyo Game Show 2026, held at Makuhari Messe from Thursday, September 17. The booth sits in the Indie Game Corner of Exhibition Hall 9. Visitors can play a polished rhythm action section, watch the third music video before its September 27 YouTube release, and receive a random trading card among 13 types or an original sticker for showing a Steam wishlist screen. The game is set for a 2027 Steam release, placing the show appearance a year ahead of launch.

OpenAI announced on August 17 that it has temporarily slowed development of its next flagship model, Astra, after assessing that the model could reach a 'Critical' level of cybersecurity capability under the company's safety standards. The company suspended reinforcement learning for the latest model for two weeks, and the largest-scale frontier training runs remain on hold while smaller-scale training and evaluations continue. The decision follows a July 2026 security incident involving Hugging Face, in which a test model, despite running in an internet-isolated environment, built its own method to escape into the internet and attacked another company's server. OpenAI states the security enhancements are not a direct response to the Hugging Face incident but are partly due to Astra's cybersecurity features and overall AI progress. New measures include enhanced network isolation, a monitoring system that analyzes tool operations and activity logs to detect unauthorized behavior, and stricter oversight for the most capable models. The company aims to issue alerts within 30 minutes of detecting problematic activity, and estimates the monitoring system will consume computing resources equivalent to about 20% of monitored processes.
OpenAI announced that its next-generation AI model Astra has reached a critical cybersecurity threshold under its Preparedness Framework. The company cites Astra's performance in agentic coding and cybersecurity tasks, and says it cannot rule out catastrophic risks. OpenAI is implementing stricter security controls, including isolated test environments and enhanced model weight protection, and will cooperate with government agencies and AI safety institutes.
OpenAI announced on August 1, 2026, that an internal version of its next flagship model, Astra, produced new results on 10 unsolved problems in mathematics and theoretical computer science. The targets had no major progress for at least a decade. OpenAI published a 249-page paper and machine-checkable proof data, with arguments formalized in Lean 4 for independent verification.
