Legendary Foundry Games, renowned in the gaming community for its ambitious projects, has made the somber announcement of discontinuing the development of their flagship title, Ascenders MMORPG, along with its associated mini-game, Ascenders: Simulation. This setback has also led to the subsequent halt in the company's operations.

From the outset, Legendary Foundry Games had set out on a mission to reshape the way gamers interacted with open-world environments. Their cornerstone project, Ascenders MMORPG, was envisioned as a game-changer in the industry – a game entrenched in deep narrative, set within a vast world, and supported by a unique decentralized, player-led economic model.

As a testament to their dedication and to offer players a taste of their expansive universe, the company had previously rolled out mini-games:

• Ascenders Combat Challenge: released in 2022, served as a precursor to the combat dynamics players could expect in the MMORPG.
• Ascenders Simulation: introduced in 2023, acted as a simulation platform, allowing players to manage land resources and get a feel of the in-game economy.

Unfortunately, the anticipated Land NFT mint in May 2023 did not meet its set targets, leading to unforeseen financial challenges. These fiscal constraints have culminated in the difficult decision to halt the game's development and cease the company's overarching operations.

Legendary Foundry Games extends its heartfelt gratitude towards its supportive community and strategic partners. Their unwavering faith and passionate involvement were the pillars on which the company stood.

Even as they wind up, the Ascenders Team remains hopeful about the potential of web3 technology meshing with the gaming world. They believe that this amalgamation has the power to redefine the gaming industry's trajectory. Their contributions to this evolving space have been significant, and while their journey concludes, their pioneering spirit in the Web3 gaming domain will undoubtedly leave a mark.
