The Temple of Skua forecourt in Aston
Closed alpha

Astonia: Evolution

A remake of Mercenaries of Astonia v2, rebuilt in Unreal Engine 5.

The world of Aston, reforged

The classic isometric world, its classes, dungeons and the long climb to Seyan'Du, now with modern lighting, weather, day and night, and full 3D characters. Same server rules, same spirit.

Based on Mercenaries of Astonia v2

Mercenaries of Astonia was created by Daniel Brockhaus and ran from 1997 to 2001. Astonia: Evolution runs on the original v2 server code, released by its author and updated for modern 64-bit Linux, so the world, the monsters, the skills and the rules are the ones v2 players remember. What's new is how it looks and feels: a new 3D client with modern graphics, smoother movement and a redesigned interface, built to keep the spirit of the original.
