Tiger Team announced on July 3 that the closed alpha test for Ironwing Valiant: Record of Astera will begin around July 17, about two weeks from the announcement. This is the second playtest for the high-tempo mecha action RPG, which was postponed to add new weapons and armor sets. New additions include a high-firepower Shotgun and the ADF.109 F-4 armor set, which balances speed and power. The developer also released concept art for the lightweight Valiant the ADF.444-2, a speed-focused unit with a long-bladed weapon. The game is set in the small country Astera, invaded by the Gandria Empire, and features real-time and command-based combat, mecha part customization, and JRPG-style storytelling with NPC affinity elements. It is planned for release on PC via Steam.
