'This only applies to Ascend on Xbox 360 - Ascend will continue to be available on the Steam gaming platform. Players will still be able to play Ascend on Xbox 360 and use any content they have already acquired until the game closure date.' Speaking to Eurogamer, the platform holder said, 'We can confirm that effective November 18, 2014, Ascend on Xbox 360 will close. Microsoft’s response to enquiries has been vague. We are deeply saddened by this decision and the impact it has on our community.' 'This surfaced to us while investigating various issues players have been experiencing over the weekend.
'Signal Studios must regretfully announce that despite our best efforts and the games success, Microsoft has discontinued support for Ascend: Hand of Kul on the Xbox 360 and removed the game from the Xbox Live Marketplace,' said the developer. Microsoft is the publisher of the game and made the decision without informing the developer. The removal of the game came as a surprise, even to Signal Studios. Ascend: Hand of Kul, Signal Studio's free-to-play Xbox 360 action-RPG, has been removed from the Xbox Live Marketplace and will only be playable up until November 18th for existing players.
