SOLO AND CO-OP ACTION SHOOTER RPG, THE ASCENT HITS 1 MILLION GLOBAL SALES

Curve Games is delighted to announce that The Ascent, the debut title from Swedish indie studio Neon Giant, has sold 1 Million copies worldwide.  Following its launch in 2021, The Ascent quickly became a fan favourite, receiving critical acclaim from the press and players alike.

A solo and co-op action-shooter RPG set in a wonderfully realised sci-fi cyberpunk world, The Ascent is the first title from Neon Giant, a studio composed of games industry veterans who were some of the minds behind iconic AAA titles such as Gears of War, Bulletstorm and Wolfenstein franchises.

“A million thanks to all our players for visiting Veles. We’re excited and thankful to you, our team and our partners for making this possible,” said Arcade Berg, Creative Director and co-founder of Neon Giant.

“We’re delighted to celebrate this incredible milestone with Arcade, Tor and the team at Neon Giant,” commented John Clark, CEO at Curve Games. “The team has continued to release great new content, building on the game’s growing fanbase, and I’m sure there will be more good news to announce soon.”

The Ascent sees players dive into ‘The Ascent Group’ arcology, a self-contained corporate-run metropolis stretching high into the sky and filled with creatures from all over the galaxy. Taking on the role of an indentured worker, the world starts to go haywire when The Ascent Group shuts down for unknown reasons. Life becomes a case of survival, with rival corporations and crime syndicates looking to fill the empty space. Players will have to take up arms and hold them off. The Ascent begins here.
