Price Drop & Community Update

Darkblade Ascent · published 5 May 2025, 09:51 UTC

All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

Hey everyone,

Since the launch of Darkblade Ascent, we’ve been blown away by the support, feedback, and excitement from all of you. Thank you for helping us shape the game into something fun, polished and full of content.

After listening to the community and reviewing how players are engaging with the game, we’ve decided to lower the base price of Darkblade Ascent to $10.99.
We want to explain why.

Why the Price Drop?

We are building Darkblade Ascent with a lot of passion and dedication, but we’ve come to realize that our original pricing may have created a barrier for some players. We want to make the game more accessible, grow the community, and bring more players into the game as we continue to develop it during Early Access.

As gamers ourselves, we understand how important it is for developers to listen to the community. We want the players to guide us in delivering a fun and memorable game in all aspects and with a lower permanent price we feel that we can grow the community, have more valuable feedback and at the end of the day have more players enjoy our work and dedication and ultimately deliver a more fun and engaging game.

What’s Next?


We’re actively working on new content, performance improvements, and very soon we will be revealing details about our biggest update yet: Endless Mode (name pending) which we are sure will add A LOT of replayability with some very new and unique systems to keep you engaged (Hint: we heard you would like items in the game not just weapons).

A Huge Thank You to Early Supporters


If you bought the game before this change: thank you. Your support means the world to us, and we wouldn't be here without you!
