- The Hydra - Update 2 - 29 July 2021
Greetings Incarnates, We’re super excited for today’s Update, as we’ve got a new Artefact, the Soul Drain Catalyst, and a Boss, the Hydra, coming to ASCENDANTS Rising! Soul Drain Catalyst: The Soul Drain Catalyst is ideal for players who know how to read the battlefield as the action unfolds. Being a channeling ability, Soul Drain boosts the damage this weapon inflicts and the mana it creates the longer this Artefact is utilized. Soul Drain also boasts a powerful signature ability, Giga Drain, which lets you cast a mightier version of the ability for 2 seconds. If you can control this ability for its entire phase, this will result in the Artefact generating a tremendous amount of damage and mana. The Hydra: The Hydra bursts onto the scene, and it’s ready to annihilate you! This Boss takes the old saying, “Two heads are better than one,” to a whole other level. When players engage the Hy…

- Early Access - Update 1 - 8 July 2021
Greetings, Incarnates! Today is an Update, but before going into the meat and potatoes of the subject, we have some information to share: After contacting Valve, we learned that we can no longer create and sell 4 Packs on Steam. The Group Finder feature has been delayed by a week due to a technical issue. Now for the good news! In the Multiverse, you will find two new threats to contend with: Inquisitor - Set 2 When exploring the Multiverse, there is no guarantee that you will find yourself in the exact same location. While familiar, this Inquisitor comes from a different timeline and has new tricks up its sleeve: Lightning StormApply Lightning Rod to a non-protector player. Lightning Rod: Lasts for 4 seconds; it deals 3000 damage to all Incarnates within 8 meters when it expires. Acid Bomb Launch a bolt that deals 500 damage and apply an Acid Bomb to the Protector.

- Early Access Release - 25 June 2021
Greetings Incarnates, Today the Early Access goes live! The game is now available to purchase for people who want to support us and participate in the game’s development. Why release an Early Access so early in the game development? From experience, as players and developers, we have learned that it is not possible to polish a game without input from many players. So our ambition is to have as many players as possible provide us with feedback. The reality of game development is that once you are 3 - 4 months away from release, it is almost impossible to change the game. That is why we choose to start the Early Access almost a year before the actual release. To make sure we can not only listen to feedback but also change the game for the better. How often can we expect updates and new content? Our goal is to have many small updates. Giving an exact schedule for those updates will be comp…

With this update, we want to shift the testing focus to the Coliseum. With this update, you will find: The Coliseum: In the Coliseum, Incarnates fight to prove themselves worthy.
