Gaming Staff • June 7, 2025
Indie Game Pc Games Action Game Role Playing GamePlayFusion, an independent game development studio based in Cambridge, UK, has recently revealed a new trailer for their upcoming game, ASCENDANT. This neon-lit, PvPvE game is set in a post-apocalyptic, biopunk world where players fight for control of Biocores, the only energy source that can keep their Shades from flatlining. The game features a dynamic environment that evolves and adapts as players engage in tactical firefights, with every match presenting unique challenges and experiences.
ASCENDANT offers a variety of key features, including strategic mayhem, dynamic environments, deep customization, and a persistent social hub. Players can engage in four-team death zone matches, where they fight for three Biocores and vote to unleash match-altering chaos. The game's dynamic environments react to player actions, triggering toxic storms, airstrikes, or even giant beasts that can change the tide of battle.
Customization is a significant aspect of ASCENDANT, as players can forge their loadouts with neon-soaked 80s flair and modded weaponry that pushes the boundaries of warfare. The game also boasts a procedurally shifting arena, ensuring that no two matches are the same.
Players can look forward to a variety of apex predators, such as the Gorlizard, a massive mutant beast that adds another layer of challenge to the gameplay. ASCENDANT's weapon crafting system allows for over 3 million combinations, enabling players to build their own unique Franken-guns tailored to their playstyle.
ASCENDANT is set to release later this year and is currently available to wishlist on Steam. Players can join the game's official Discord for the latest news and updates. PlayFusion, a collective of industry veterans with credits including RuneScape, Sniper Elite, and Star Citizen, aims to create games that push boundaries and leave a lasting impact on the gaming community.
