The first Playdek game I played on the iOS was Ascension. I don’t know how many games I’ve played, but it plays fast and the expansions add even more cards and new rules that enhance the experience. Now Playdek and Stone Blade have announced that they plan to support Ascension on the iOS for at least the next year.
Playdek, a publisher of digital table top games, and Stone Blade Entertainment, thegaming company behind Ascension: Chronicle of the Godslayer and upcoming Digital Collecting Game (DCG),SolForge, announced today their joint commitment to supporting the existing iOS Ascension community.
Playdek will support the iOS community through June 2014, with new content including iOS exclusives, and online gameplay. Although cross-platform play will not be coming to the current Ascension iOS app, Playdek will continue to launch new content for the iOS game, including the Ascension: Immortal Heroes expansion in June of this year.
“Playdek has been a great partner and we look forward to continuing to work with them to support the iOS community and to the many more awesome hobby games they are bringing to mobile,” said Justin Gary, CEO of Stone Blade Entertainment.
When Stone Blade Entertainment launches Ascension Online on iOS (currently scheduled for July of 2014), Playdek’s Ascension iOS app will be removed from the app store, but Playdek will continue to support online play through the remainder of 2014.
Nearly another two years of online play, and the ability to play against the CPU, makes sense, especially since they are coming out with a new Ascension app sometime next year. If you haven’t played any incarnation of Ascension and are a fan of deck building games, I recommend checking out the iOS version.

While his love of video games started with the Telestar Alpha (a pong console with four different games), he trule started playing video games when he received the ill-fated TI-99/4A. While the Speech Synthesizer seemed to be the height of gaming, eventually a 286 AT computer running at 8/12 Hz and a CGA monitor would be his outlet for a while. Eventually he’d graduate to 386, 486, Pentium, and Athlon systems, building some of those systems while doing some hardware reviews and attending Comdex. With the release of the Dreamcast that started his conversion to the console world. Since then he has acquired an NES, SNES, PS2, PS3, PSP, GBA-SP, DS, Xbox, Xbox 360, Xbox One S, Gamecube, Wii, Switch, and Oculus Quest 2. While not playing video games he enjoys bowling, reading, playing board games, listening to music, and watching movies and TV. He originally hails from Wisconsin but is now living in Michigan with his wife and sons.
