Ascend: Hand of Kul removed from marketplace

Ascend: Hand of Kul was released on XBLA just under a year ago, and last week the plug was suddenly pulled on the free-to-play RPG. Microsoft removed the game from the marketplace without any warning, much to the surprise of developer Signal Studios. “We are deeply saddened by this decision and the impact it has on our community,” their official site reads. Microsoft has yet to comment on their decision.

All is not lost, however, as the game is still alive and well on Steam. While the PC version is still in beta, many improvements have been made over the XBLA version. Signal Studios is encouraging fans to take the plunge, offering new players 25,000 souls (in-game currency) to make the transition easier.
