SEOUL, July 14 (AJP) - Krafton's creative studio Flyway Games launched its new action roguelike "Ascend to Zero" worldwide, releasing the title simultaneously as an Xbox Game Pass day-one offering.

The game went live at Monday 4 p.m. Korea time across Xbox Series X|S, Xbox on PC, Xbox Cloud Gaming, the ROG Xbox Ally and Steam. Game Pass subscribers can play it at no additional cost.

"Ascend to Zero" casts players as a fighter who wields the power to freeze time, battling swarms of enemies while assembling abilities and combat styles across repeated runs. The time-stop mechanic doubles as the game's central hook, rewarding aggression over caution.

The title sells for 13,000 won ($8.69) in South Korea. Alongside the base game, Flyway released a "Supporter Pack" downloadable content bundle featuring golden skins for six avatars, an official soundtrack and a discounted deluxe edition combining the game and all DLC.

As of Tuesday, the game is rated "Very Positive" on Steam, 95 percent of user reviews remaining positive.
