Flyway Games reveals high-octane trailer during Partner Preview Showcase; confirms Day One launch with Xbox Game Pass, Play Anywhere support, and handheld optimization
[SEOUL, SOUTH KOREA] – March, 27th, 2026] – Flyway Games is thrilled to announce that its highly anticipated time-bending roguelike, Ascend to ZERO, will officially launch on July 13, 2026. Today, the title is confirmed to bring its unique brand of chronological mayhem to Xbox Series X|S, Xbox on PC, ROG Xbox Ally and ROG Xbox Ally X, and Steam. Ascend to ZERO also supports Xbox Play Anywhere and will be playable across Xbox console, Xbox on PC, and cloud.
Revealed during today’s Xbox Partner Preview, the Ascend to ZERO trailer gives players a deeper look at the game’s “Time Freezing” mechanic in action. Time isn’t just a limit; it’s your greatest weapon. By bending time, players can halt the world mid-chaos to choose “Tech Chips,” allowing them to upgrade attacks and strategize the most devastating combos before resuming the fight in a blur of destruction.
“We’re incredibly excited to Bring Ascend to ZERO to the Xbox ecosystem. Launching on Xbox day one with Xbox Game Pass and supporting Xbox Play Anywhere will allow us to reach more players exactly where they want to play,” said Huh Taewook, Director at Flyway Games. “Whether you’re freezing time on your couch with the Xbox Series X or taking the fight on the go with the ROG Xbox Ally X, we’ve optimized every second of the experience to be high-impact, rewarding, and memorable.”
Ascend to ZERO is a fast-paced action roguelike built around time control. In the aftermath of a collapsed technological civilization, players wield time-bending powers alongside a vast arsenal of weapons, chips, and RPG-style progression to reshape their abilities. Rewrite fate itself and become the ultimate avatar of time.
Key Feature
- Master Time to Rewrite Fate: Wield time itself as your greatest weapon.
