Ironwing Valiant: Record of Astera is in active development with a second closed alpha test scheduled for July 17, 2026, and a new demo approaching.
Tiger Team is developing Ironwing Valiant: Record of Astera, a mecha action RPG for PC set in the fantasy world of Eudilia. The game blends real-time mecha combat with command-based battles, drawing inspiration from Armored Core 6 and Valkyria Chronicles. Players customize a mecha called the Valiant by swapping head, core, arms, legs, and power pack parts, then fight alongside allies to protect their hometown.
The project was first announced in early June 2026, with a test play scheduled soon. By late May, a new trailer had dropped and a demo was announced as coming soon, alongside a second closed alpha test. In mid-June, another trailer highlighted the high-speed mecha action and command battles, and the second closed alpha test was described as approaching. On July 3, Tiger Team confirmed the closed alpha test would start around July 17, adding a shotgun and a new armor set to the test build.
The game's story is inspired by Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and its art style draws from Valkyria Chronicles. The second playtest was delayed to add new equipment, indicating the game is still in active development as it moves toward a wider audience on Steam.
