Ascension Becomes a Browser Game RenWerX Studios has decided to convert the first-person shooter Ascension into a browser game instead of a full-blown PC game.
RenWerX has been working on this technology conversion behind the scenes for several months now. We have fully completed the transition to browser-based technology.
New Technology Our new technology will feature RenWerX Studio's exclusive PPM : Pay Per Minute(tm) and PPW/S/M: Pay Per Weapon/Skin/Model(tm) technology.
With this exciting new design, you will be empowered to pay for only the parts of the game YOU WANT and nothing else. Rather than charge $70 for Ascension, you simply pay for the time you play.*
We also free you from the shackles of excess content. How many times have you had to pay for weapons or player models that you NEVER used? With Ascension PPW/S/K technology you are empowered to only buy the content you want!*
Alpha Tech Preview Client Available/Closed Beta Spot Contest To top off our successful port to browser-based technology, we are releasing a special, commemorative, limited-edition alpha client of Ascension. Get yours while it is hot. The person with the highest score wins a spot in the closed beta!
