Signal Studios Announces the World-Wide Open Beta Release
The time has come, the world-wide open beta release of Ascend. Gamers all over the world are now able to join in on the Crusade as YOU fight for total dominion under the banner of your god. Will you pledge your loyalty to the chaotic goddess of darkness, the zealous god of light or the manipulative lord of the void?
Many thanks to our closed beta testers. With your help, we are now able to transition into an open beta. We have added, yet again, new features! The release of the open beta is only the beginning. There is already a robust set of new features and content in the works that will roll out over the next few months including: new modes, special in-game events, additional environments, enemies, abilities, equipment, and quests. All for free.
In order to celebrate the world-wide open beta release of Ascend, we would like you to join us for a special two hour live stream at 12 p.m. PST. There will be Q&A, gameplay, prizes and any other crazy shenanigans we can get into! ;)
“We’ve been working closely with Microsoft to break down the traditional console barriers that most games on the platform face and it has really paid off. There is virtually nothing we can’t change in Ascend live with the push of a button. During the closed beta we’ve been fixing bugs, balancing the game, editing levels, and adding events on a daily basis almost instantaneously as we get player feedback on our forums.” says D.R. Albright III, President and Creative Director of Signal Studios.
V 1.2 Update
- Fixed progression blockers in Grave and Lake
- Armor plays a key role in battle

As a reminder, all player accounts will be reset but this should be the last one. If you have purchased souls, they will be rewarded back to you immediately upon start up. If you do not receive your purchased souls, please get in touch with us via the Signal studios contact email and we will move to rectify the situation as soon as possible.
Let us know what you think of the open beta on our forums.
