PLAYDEK AND STONE BLADE ENTERTAINMENT ANNOUNCE FUTURE PLANS FOR ASCENSION iOS COMMUNITY



Carlsbad, CA, March 21, 2013 -- Playdek, a publisher of digital table top games, and Stone Blade Entertainment, the gaming 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.



With SolForge in development, Stone Blade Entertainment is ready to bring its own products to the digital space, and will be launching Ascension Online on PC and Android. Stone Blade Entertainment is committed to supporting their new community and to take on the existing Ascension iOS community. The company will research ways to transition users, so that those who purchased content on iOS will not have to repurchase that content in Ascension Online. All content purchased for Android and PC versions of Ascension Online will automatically transfer to Ascension Online when it comes to iOS.



Playdek applauds Stone Blade Entertainment’s commitment and will look to support them in making their eventual iOS customers whole.



“It has been a pleasure to work with Stone Blade on a great IP like Ascension, and we look forward to serving the incredible iOS community for this game,” said Joel Goodman, CEO of Playdek. “We support Stone Blade in its future efforts and wish them the best as they take Ascension to new consumers.”



Stone Blade Entertainment and Playdek are grateful to the fans that have supported them. Both companies share the same mission of bringing quality hobby games to the mobile space and feel that their commitment has shown in their respective work to date. Both companies deeply appreciate their customer’s understanding as they work through the logistics of this transition. Playdek and Stone Blade Entertainment look forward to continuing to launch the top quality games players have come to expect.
