Neon Giant is targeting improvements across co-op, saves, progression and more while outlining ambitions for The Ascent across new platforms, genres and sequels

EL SEGUNDO, CALIF. – JULY 30, 2026 – KRAFTON, Inc. and Neon Giant recently announced a major update for The Ascent, coming to PlayStation, Xbox and PC in November 2026. The announcement comes as the game surpasses 12 million players and Neon Giant looks ahead to the franchise’s future, with ambitions to expand The Ascent across new platforms, genres, and future sequels.
 
The upcoming update is designed to make the experience smoother and more dependable for both solo and co-op players. While final details will be shared closer to release, there are plans to improve co-op teleportation, the encounter system, save-game reliability and data safeguards, player-progression reliability and safeguards, HDR support, and key localization improvements across all supported languages.
 
For Neon Giant, the November update and its longer-term franchise ambitions reflect the same commitment: continuing to improve the experience players have today while giving the world of Veles room to grow. More details on how The Ascent will expand will be shared as those plans take shape.
 
“We are incredibly proud of what we built with The Ascent and grateful to the millions of players who have made the journey to Veles,” said Arcade Berg, Co-Founder of Neon Giant. “We have also listened closely to feedback about where the experience can be stronger. With KRAFTON’s support, this update marks a new chapter for the game and for our ambitions for The Ascent as a franchise.

Since assuming direct publishing responsibilities for The Ascent in March 2026, KRAFTON has been supporting Neon Giant’s work on the November update and the franchise’s longer-term direction. Originally created by a team of 12 developers, The Ascent launched on PC and Xbox in July 2021 and became the most-played PC game on Xbox Game Pass. The game also earned nominations at the D.I.C.E. Awards and Golden Joystick Awards before arriving on PlayStation in March 2022. Its world expanded further with the release of the Cyber Heist DLC in August 2022.
 
The Ascent tells the story of a corporate-owned indentured worker uncovering the hidden truth behind the sudden collapse of the mega corporation known as ‘The Ascent Group’, which has thrown the city into chaos. Players explore a vast cityscape, taking on story-driven missions from a colorful cast of characters, fighting enemies, collecting loot, and customizing their builds. The entire experience can be enjoyed solo or in co-op with up to four players.

To mark the fifth anniversary, Neon Giant has also released a visual retrospective celebrating The Ascent’s journey so far, which can be found on The Ascent’s official website, social channels, Steam page, and official Discord server.

Winner of the Player Designed Island Contest, the Mysterious New Island Adds a New Quest, New Activities, a New Mini Boss and More!

29th July, 2026, Cambridge, UK – Today, Jagex: The RuneScape Company is thrilled to share that the mists have lifted across the treacherous waters of the Unquiet Ocean to reveal a perilous new area for players to forge new adventures: Wyrmscraig. Created by OSRS player and creator ScreteMonge (also known as Gnome), his concept was selected from over 1,000 entries to the community Player-Designed Island Competition earlier this year. This new area introduces a new sailing destination brimming with new content, including a new quest, new activities, and a new repeatable boss, The Mad Angel, and more.

Far across the south-west sea of Gielinor lies the secluded island of Wyrmscraig. Known to the locals as Cuil An Domainh, its rugged mountainous terrain and highly aggressive wildlife make for the perfect place for adventurers to explore. Upon arriving on its rocky shores, players will encounter the remote village of Auchrie, occupied by a tenacious community who have built a secluded life for themselves despite the harsh environment, making them wary of the rare traveller to wash ashore.   

Travelling to Wyrmscraig and scaling its rocky shores will give access to exciting activities, making the difficult journey worthwhile for the most determined adventurers:

New Quest: Fallen From Grace and New Repeatable Boss: An introduction to the island where players explore the village of Auchurie, they learn of the enigmatic Guardian of its people, The Mad Angel, whose presence may just be myth. Adventurers must learn what led this once benevolent protector to descend into madness and ascend the steps of Ardeaglais to discover the truth of her existence. Upon completion of this quest, Adventurers can test their might against the new repeatable boss, The Mad Angel, to earn themselves the valuable weapon, Hallowfell.

New Slayer Master: Mortimer: Accessible once players have started to progress through Fallen From Grace and unlockable with 100 Combat and 70 Slayer (or 99 Slayer respectively), this new high-level slayer master puts control into players’ hands. Instead of the traditional single task assignment, Mortimer offers slayers a choice of two, with the ability to unlock three assignments to choose from as the relationship progresses; however, assignments will be more expensive to skip. As players progress, they’ll unlock powerful modifiers that appear alongside the task, granting extra rewards or benefits, depending on the assignment.  

New Activity: Golem Crafting: After completing the Fallen From Grace quest, players unlock the ability to craft new protectors for the islands people – golems. As an alternative training method to glassblowing, crafters will mine the rocky terrain for sunstone, then sculpt the golem’s stone figure, and finally adorn it with clothing for bonus crafting experience.

New Activity: Goat Hunting: A brand-new hunter training activity; players will need to cull the out-of-control goat population on the island by herding their prey into spike-filled pits, using spike traps that can be found on the island. Each goat successfully herded towards their doom will grant hunter experience, with a greater amount of additional hunter XP granted for every goat processed as well as the unique goat hunter pet Mr McGroot.

Old School RuneScape is available now on PC, Steam, iOS, and Android, complete with cross-platform progression and play on PC and mobile.

Take the role of an immortal starship pilot sent to investigate the ruins of a fallen empire.

Seattle, United States, 29 July 2026 | Indie developer Codex Interactive is excited to announce that their debut title, Omen, will release on Steam on August 11th, 2026. In this top-down sci-fi extraction shooter, players will explore and loot the war-torn remains of a fallen galactic empire while shoring up a defensive front to combat waves of lurking pirates, opportunistic traitors, and savage cultists. 

Galaxy-Wide Calamity

Humanity has been reduced to a post-apocalyptic expanse of broken space stations and nomadic ships. Take on the role of an Astral, an immortal starship pilot whose job is to investigate The Veil, a cosmic anomaly hailed by an army of cultists set on inciting a total war to claim power. Amidst this macabre backdrop, Omen challenges players to root out the forces of the Veil, raid their bases, defend against retaliatory infiltration, and ally with the resistance to recenter the remaining threads of humanity.

Rebuild the Monastery

Omen combines base defense combat, ship customization, item crafting, and extraction looter elements for a cross-genre gameplay experience. At the start of the game, you come across the remains of a derelict monastery suitable enough to use as your base. With the Monastery as your hub, interact with local NPCs to claim missions, customize your ship, and build new weapons for your future raids. It is a prime target for the forces of the Veil, so it’s essential to build out its defenses to survive the brutal waves of enemy onslaught.

A Futile, Four-Part Saga

Every region of the Samarin Empire has unique challenges, quests, and loot. Discover Omen’s four-act structure as you delve further into the burning remains of a once-great civilization. Each act, complete with its own set of questlines, mini-objectives, and loot drops, ends with a high-octane boss battle to test your upgraded weaponry, tactics, and skills. Battle through military bases, secret research facilities, and the Empire’s capital city before reaching The Veil. Secure final weaponry upgrades and team up with new allies to face the abominations of this otherworldly dimension. Do you have what it takes to overcome The Veil for good?

Gameplay Features

• Base Defense Gameplay: Hordes of pirates, a legion of traitors, and an armada of cultists want you dead. Craft a variety of defensive structures and expand your base to withstand retaliatory enemy raids. 
• Extraction Shooter: Select a mission to complete allies’ objectives and extract valuable resources; if the enemy response fleet arrives, quickly stage your exit or be prepared to face powerful capital ships.
• Four Act Saga: Uncover the truth behind The Veil across four distinct story arcs against a cosmic backdrop of Lovecraftian-styled myth. Each Act features a unique enemy faction and culminates in an epic boss battle. 
• Over 80 Items and Upgrades: Collect loot from enemy bases, select from a variety of ship hulls, and build a combination of over 80 weapons, defensive structures, abilities, and utility items. There are hundreds of different possible loadouts, each with unique strengths and drawbacks.

Omen arrives on Steam August 11th. Players can wishlist the game for launch updates and try the demo to experience Omen’s first act. For more information about Codex Interactive, please visit their website: https://www.codexinteractive.com/
