Ascenders Announces Integration with Arbitrum for their upcoming Ascenders: Simulation Launch
BRITISH VIRGIN ISLANDS, 3 May, 2023 - Ascenders, the highly anticipated AAA action RPG gaming title developed by Legendary Foundry Games, today announced that the game’s first release, Ascenders: Simulation, will be released and integrated on the Arbitrum network, a leading Ethereum scaling solution. The integration with Arbitrum will enable Ascenders to leverage Arbitrum’s advanced technology stack to provide a seamless and efficient gaming experience for its players and support Ascenders: Simulation's NFTs, in-game currency, and tokens.
Ascenders, an action role-playing game (RPG) inspired by The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild’s captivating gameplay and Eve Online's player-driven economy, transports players to an alien planet for exploration, combat, and survival. Developed by a team of seasoned game developers and crypto veterans, Ascenders boasts a strong background in AAA game releases, player retention and community building. The upcoming web-based Ascenders: Simulation, set to be released on 8 June, 2023, focuses on the builder's lane, where players construct buildings, gather rare resources, and craft gear to enhance their abilities. It lays the foundation for the larger Ascenders universe and provides a head start to the economy and utility for the upcoming NFT lands.
The integration with Arbitrum is a significant milestone for the Ascenders: Simulation project, as it brings increased visibility and engagement from the wider Arbitrum community. This integration with Arbitrum not only broadens opportunities for players but also maximizes the potential of the Ascenders Metaverse.
"Arbitrum's scaling solution is the perfect fit for Ascenders. With Arbitrum, our players can focus on playing our game rather than worrying about high transaction costs and on-chain congestion that is common on the main Ethereum blockchain." says Jackson Poon, CEO of Ascenders. "With Arbitrum's technology, we are excited to bring the Ascenders: Simulation to life and offer gamers a truly unique on-chain gaming experience.”
Arbitrum, a leading Ethereum scaling solution providing scalable, affordable, secure, and sustainable blockchains for Web3, will enhance Ascenders' NFT utility and overall utilization. Arbitrum recently airdropped $ARB tokens to its community members and established a DAO to control the network's decisions moving forward. The airdrop has spurred adoption, rewarded early adopters and decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs) contributing to Arbitrum's growth and health.
David Bolger, Gaming at Offchain Labs, the initial builders behind Arbitrum technology, commented: “We’re excited to see the impact of Ascenders’ integration with Arbitrum on the gaming industry. The technology will enable Ascenders to offer its players a truly immersive gaming experience and contribute to the growth of the ecosystem.”
Launching Ascenders: Simulation on Arbitrum combines AAA game development with blockchain innovation, empowering players with NFT ownership of in-game assets. This collaboration opens new opportunities and appeals to a diverse player base of both traditional and crypto gamers, offers a seamless gaming experience, and encourages active participation in the game's dynamic economy, marking a significant milestone in Ascenders’ development.
