Planet 6 — [ 404 ]

Signal corrupted. World not found.

Five worlds make up the known Astral Forge universe — frozen Cryos, restless Mara, the spore-tangled jungles of Spora, radiant Primea, and the pixel-storms of Pix. Every Astral ever pulled, traded or sent into battle was born on one of these five.

But the star charts have always shown six.

Where the sixth world should be, there is only static — a tear in the map that the Forge's oldest instruments refuse to read. Scouts who drift too close all report the same thing before they lose contact: a planet that flickers in and out of existence, as if something is trying to load it… and failing.

The Forge has a name for it, scratched into the margin of every expedition log that never came back:

World 404.

We don't know what lives there. We don't know who — or what — keeps switching it off. We only know the signal is getting stronger, the glitches are spreading, and the Astrals can feel it. Some are drawn toward the static. Others won't go anywhere near it.

Something on Planet 6 is waking up. And when it finally finishes loading, the universe gains a sixth world — and a brand-new wave of Astrals to travel, mutate and conquer.

Stay tuned. The error is almost resolved.

Astral Forge Community Competition Winners Announced!

Over the past few weeks, we've been running one of our favourite Astral Forge events yet — a community competition giving players the chance to create their own Astrals and even design an entirely new planet for the Astral Forge universe.

The response was incredible.

We received dozens of imaginative entries, from powerful warriors and mysterious creatures to completely original worlds packed with lore and personality. Seeing the creativity of our community has been genuinely inspiring, and choosing the winners was far from easy.

Astral Winner: Squadie Goggle

After reviewing all submissions, the winning Astral design is Squadie Goggle.

Created from a fantastic hand-drawn concept, Squadie Goggle immediately stood out thanks to his unique appearance and imaginative abilities. Armed with drills, lasers, and mysterious ancient technology, Squadie Goggle has now officially been written into Astral Forge lore as an ancient relic from a universe that existed before the rebirth of the cosmos itself.

Not bad for a competition entry!

Planet Winner: Planet Ghost

Our winning planet concept was Planet Ghost.

What began as a wonderfully creative drawing featuring a glowing black ring, a green sun, giant leaps, moss-covered landscapes and whimsical spirits has now become the foundation for a future Astral Forge world.

The concept captured exactly what we love about Astral Forge — imagination without limits. We can't wait to continue developing this planet and bringing it to life in future expansions.

What Do The Winners Receive?

Both winning entries will become official parts of the Astral Forge universe.

The creators will also receive:

• An Astral Forge TCG Starter Set

• Official recognition as Astral Forge Community Creators

• Their names permanently credited alongside their creations

• The knowledge that their ideas will help shape the future of Astral Forge

• A PS5 or a Nintendo Switch 2

A Huge Thank You

A massive thank you to everyone who entered the competition. Every single submission was read, reviewed and discussed, and the creativity on display was incredible.

Special thanks also goes to gaming creator KreekCraft for helping announce and support the competition.

The Beginning, Not The End

This competition was never just about picking winners.

Astral Forge is a universe built around creativity, imagination and community, and this is only the first of many opportunities for players to leave their mark on the cosmos.

Who knows?

The next legendary Astral, mysterious planet or universe-changing story could come directly from one of you.

Thank you for helping us build Astral Forge.

The adventure is only just beginning.

Travel. Mutate. Conquer.
