Major Astraeos “Lemnokis” Content Update this June!

The first major update of Astraeos comes with a new island - Lemnokis! A massive landmass with many biomes. Snowy redwoods, warm redwoods, valleys, forests and combined with many bigger and smaller building caves, even a glacier cave. Lemnokis is also the home of the first duo-miniboss: Kalydonios & Erymanthian. Two massive boars attacking with fire and poisonous gas! The ocean areas will have new deep-sea areas full of resources and a special new place out in the ocean - The Maelstrom!

OSDs on Astraeos and Extinction Building Rule

If you’ve built near potential OSD drop zones, we strongly recommend relocating your base before the patch goes live on July 15th. 2025.

Wild Card is making a key adjustment to OSDs on Astraeos to address a bug. Starting July 15th, when an OSD lands, it will now destroy any nearby player-built structures within its impact radius. This will be the same radius used for OSDs on Extinction.
