At ChinaJoy 2026, 4Gamer.net played the sci-fi MMORPG Nova Era: Atom from Amazing Game. The demo featured zero-gravity 360-degree flight, mech customization, and a dragon boss tuned for solo play. The operations manager outlined plans for player stalls, housing, PvP zones, and an early access launch on US servers around late 2026 to early 2027.
At ChinaJoy 2026, 4Gamer.net went hands-on with Nova Era: Atom, a sci-fi MMORPG from Amazing Game built in Unreal Engine. The playable build sent players through mission stages, had them assemble a tank-type mech at a base, then fight a dragon. Zero gravity lets mechs fly in 360 degrees, tilting with the mouse like a fighter jet, and the demo's dragon was scaled for solo play even though it is normally group content.
Operations manager Mo Mingbin (Nic) said the focus is an open space environment rather than a sandbox, with the station serving as a hub for interaction and planned player stalls. Housing is under consideration, and dangerous zones allow PvP and base destruction. Early access targets US servers around late 2026 to February 2027, with expansion to China later.
