KRAFTON's creative studio Flyway Games has released its action roguelike Ascend to ZERO on Steam and Xbox platforms, including Xbox Game Pass. The game uses a time-stopping combat mechanic. A Twitch Drops event runs from July 14 to July 26, offering in-game rewards. The base game is priced at 1,600 yen.
The time-stopping mechanic sets Ascend to ZERO apart from other roguelikes, requiring players to freeze combat to assess threats and combine abilities. The game launched globally on July 13, 2026, on Steam, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox on PC, and ROG Xbox Ally, with a standard price of 1,600 yen. A Digital Deluxe Edition and Supporter Pack DLC are also available. To mark the release, KRAFTON is running a Twitch Drops event through July 26 where viewers can earn a pet owl, exclusive weapons, and in-game currency. Flyway Games, previously known for Commander Quest and Trinity Survivors, developed the title under KRAFTON's umbrella.
