For new gamers, learning to play is as easy as if they were sitting around a real table together. Ascension VR features a full single player tutorial, as well as single player AI modes. Fans can play with up to three AI opponents to build familiarity with the cards, or dive right into multiplayer to learn with friends.

“It’s incredibly exciting to see Ascension come to life in virtual reality, where sitting in the same living room is no longer a requirement and players from all over the world can play a game of Ascension together,” said Justin Gary, Founder and CEO, Stone Blade Entertainment.

“Half the fun of board games is tabletalk, which is why it was so fun to bring our team's favorite deckbuilding game, Ascension to VR. In Ascension VR, you can be right there with your friends, chatting about strategies and goofing off as you play, no matter how far apart you live,” said Theresa Duringer, CEO, Temple Gates Games.

Ascension Deckbuilding Game revolves around a Center Deck containing Heroes, Constructs and Monsters. Players take turns recruiting Heroes or Constructs for their decks or defeating Monsters to earn honor and ultimate victory.

Ascension VR will be available for $9.99 via the Steam and Oculus Store. For more information on Ascension VR, please visit TempleGatesGames.com/AscensionVR.
