Why you might like it
- An action-combat MMORPG from Bluehole Studio (the makers of TERA and PUBG) featuring a combo-based skill system closer to action games than traditional tab-target MMORPGs, with a two-realm PvP war structure at its core.
- Originally announced back in 2017 under the much-hyped name 'Ascent: Infinite Realm' with an airship-focused steampunk-fantasy premise, making it an interesting case study in how a game's identity can shift dramatically between announcement and release.
- Worth knowing about for TERA fans researching Bluehole's broader MMORPG portfolio and design lineage, given the shared combat-system DNA between the two games.
Things to consider
- The game is completely gone — after struggling to retain players from its October 2021 Western launch (peaking at under 300 concurrent Steam players for most of its run), NA/EU closed December 7, 2022, Korea followed March 2, 2023, Southeast Asia closed April 27, 2023, and the last region, Japan, shut down in September 2023.
- Contemporary reviews and community reaction were mixed — many players and critics described the final product as feeling generic compared to its far more ambitious original 'Ascent: Infinite Realm' concept, with the signature airship content notably cut.
- No notable fan revival or private server exists for this title — it's unplayable today outside of archived footage and reviews.
