ARIS (Asteroid Revival Initiative Station)
Battle Rogue Robots on Calypso’s Hidden Moon
ARIS (Asteroid Revival Initiative Station) officially launched on 7 May 2025 as a moon-scale destination orbiting Planet Calypso. Developed by Hyperion Enterprises in partnership with MindArk, ARIS reintroduces a long-lost robot base from the Great Robot Wars. Now active once more, the moon features instanced dungeons, robotic threats, and industrial mining systems in a harsh, ground-based environment.
Backstory & Setting
Originally used during the Great Robot Wars, ARIS served as a covert operations base, hidden from Calypso’s planetary forces. For decades, it remained dormant and cloaked in deep space – until recently, when Hyperion Enterprises reactivated the site.
Upon its reawakening, ARIS was found to be crawling with hostile robots, resuming their mission to dominate Calypso’s airspace and disrupt colonist operations. Players are called to infiltrate, eliminate threats, or extract valuable resources from the hostile environment.
Core Features
- New PvE Zones
Explore lava pools, toxic oceans, crumbling factory interiors, and sprawling industrial fields filled with robotic patrols. - Instanced Daily Dungeons
Accessible through boarding scenarios, players face high-powered robot bosses guarding rare loot and blueprint rewards. - Unique Loot & Blueprints
Discover exclusive blueprints for weapons, armor, mining gear, and tools – many of which are tailored to combating robotic foes. - New Crafting Tiers
Includes new Gauss and Plasma tools, power fists, and heavy club-based melee weapons – designed for anti-robot encounters. - Resource Mining
ARIS introduces new raw materials that integrate into planetary crafting loops, including components not found elsewhere in the Universe. - No Flight & No Teleporters
All movement is ground-based – no flying vehicles or teleporters are permitted, heightening the sense of immersion and danger. - Settlement Hub: Ironhaven
Ironhaven functions as the primary player base, offering terminals, shops, crafting stations, and access to instanced missions.
