Update: You can now watch the trailer for this newly announced title from Signal Studios.

Original Story: Signal Studios, the team the Xbox Live Arcade game Toy Soldiers, is moving out of the strategy genre and into violent action-combat.

The announcement trailer for Ascend: New Gods showed a bulky red soldier with a skull mask using a scythe to violently destroy enemies. Along with the smaller guys, there was also a large ogre-type enemy that Mr. Scythe-skull-mask was able to climb and kill by flying into its face, scythe extended.

As the trailer closed out, red light engulfed Mr. Scythe-skull-mask as he ascended toward the sky from the shoulder of the dead ogre.

Ascend: New Gods is set for a 2013 release.

Game looks like crap, the animation quality was so amazingly bad... And this was the announcement trailer ffs!

It looks like a lot of fun. I want to see more about it.

this REALLY doesn't appeal to me
by CharDude Monday, June 04, 2012 at 01:13 PM

This was really bad...

i dont know about this...
by schmidtyfro Monday, June 04, 2012 at 01:24 PM

Looked pretty interesting for an arcade game.

I enjoyed this trailer. I know a lot of people hated on it, but for a world premier it seemed cool. I plan to keep tabs on this game.

There has to be more depth than what they showed. The same studio that built Toy Soldiers wouldn't just have a hack n' slash game.

I loved the Toy Soldiers games so I am psyched for how the developers create an action combat game.

Interesting to see how it will turn out.
by Killer542 Monday, June 04, 2012 at 01:48 PM

I just hope to God that it's not a God of War clone.
by ♫ Monday, June 04, 2012 at 02:08 PM

Eh.
by CosmicChaos Monday, June 04, 2012 at 02:26 PM

I would like to know more.
by DarkLadySarai Monday, June 04, 2012 at 05:03 PM

Hmmm... I like the armor he is wearing. I would need more details on this game before I make any sort of decision on it.
by Master Chief Monday, June 04, 2012 at 06:47 PM

My interest is piqued.
by rekoin Monday, June 04, 2012 at 06:53 PM

Still unsure
