Arknights developer Hypergryph’s premium RPG Ex Astris () recently had its release date confirmed, and we finally have an extended gameplay showcase. Ex Astris will release worldwide as a premium RPG next week, and the new gameplay showcase goes over the blend of real-time and turn-based combat, exploration, and showcases many environments. I really hope this ends up being good and doing well on mobile to potentially get more publishers interested in trying out the premium pricing model. I will definitely be playing it though. Watch the Ex Astris extended gameplay trailer below:

Ex Astris is set on a tidally locked planet has you playing as someone from earth investigating the planet while befriending travelers and more. It launches on February 27th as a premium game priced at $9.99. The official Twitter account has confirmed that the game will feature cross platform saves with the in-game account, but you will need to buy the game on both platforms obviously. If you’d like to play Ex Astris at launch, you can pre-order it on the App Store for iOS here and pre-register for it on Google Play for Android here.
