After being in development for over four years, New Zealand-based A44 Games (previously Aurora 44 Games) have today released their online multiplayer action-RPG Ashen after its release was revealed during The Game Awards (although it was leaked a day prior).
Launching on Xbox One and Windows 10 (via Microsoft Store and Game Pass for Xbox, and Epic Store for PC) for $60 AUD, Ashen is an open world action-RPG where players must guide their character through a beautiful art-style world that is on the verge of being pulled asunder thanks to creatures of the shadows, all the while forging friendships with players who will join you on your quest.
We’ve played the game at PAX Australia a couple of times and from what we’ve seen the game has the potential to be a very unique RPG experience.
You can watch Ashen’s launch trailer below:
Despite a childhood playing survival horrors, point and clicks and beat ’em ups, these days Zach tries to convince people that Homefront: The Revolution is a good game while pining for a sequel to The Order: 1886 and a live-action Treasure Planet film.
