Xbox Live's Free-To-Play Ascend: Hand Of Kul Heading To PC
After gaining 2.5 million players on Xbox Live, Signal Studios has decided to expand the Ascend: Hand of Kul operation.
The PC version of Ascend: Hand of Kul will be available to download on Steam on May 20. It's online free-to-play action-RPG – a much different genre than Signal Studios' previous games, Toy Soldiers and its sequel Toy Soldiers: Cold War.
Our Take
Ascend: Hand of Kul was among the first of Xbox Live's free-to-play games. It's a little surprising to see it abandon its Xbox 360 exclusivity, but ultimately it will be a benefit for the developer.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
