It's a world where the remnants of advanced biotechnologies intersect with the echoes of a lost civilization.

NEVER THE SAME BATTLE
The unpredictable is the norm in Ascendant Infinity. Every match is a novel encounter, with changing landscapes, extraction points, strategies, character roles, and weapon dynamics. Familiar yet ever-evolving – each game challenges your ability to adapt to, and master, the changing conditions.
ADAPT OR PERISH
In this ever-changing arena, your ability to adapt is as critical as your combat skills. Continuous shifts in the environment, resource locations, and enemy tactics demand quick thinking and flexible strategies. Your survival hinges on how well you adapt to these dynamic elements, making each encounter a unique test of your ingenuity. Each event promises a distinct and unforgettable experience, reshaping your tactics and pushing the limits of your survival skills. Here's a glimpse of what awaits:
Air Strike
Turn the tide of battle with the devastating power of an airstrike! Access the central tower's missile launcher system and unleash a barrage of explosive missiles upon your unsuspecting foes. Mark your target on the comprehensive map, and watch as the missiles rain down from the sky, causing chaos and destruction.
Be warned, launching an airstrike will alert all enemies to your presence, so use it strategically and with caution. The deafening raid siren will echo across the map, signaling the impending danger.
Burrower
Face the formidable Burrower, a monstrous predator that lurks beneath the surface, waiting to ambush unsuspecting players. This cunning creature can burrow underground, disappearing from sight, only to emerge from the depths to deliver a devastating blow.
Beware of the Burrower's juvenile minions, who will swarm and attack any player engaged in combat with their parent. Defeat the Burrower and claim its valuable loot, including the ultimate weapon in the game – the hyper cannon.
Deathbringer

FOUR TEAMS, THREE BIOCORES
Collaboration is vital for successful resource extraction. Whether rushing for extraction points, setting up ambushes, or coordinating attacks, teamwork dictates your victory path. With extra lives and high stakes, each strategy, risk, and collaborative effort is crucial

The thrill of the chase, the tension of conflict, and the triumph of extraction are all wrapped up in this exhilarating process.
Your squad must decide whether to aggressively pursue the biocores straight away or wait patiently and capitalize on the chaos that ensues. Will you go for a head-on clash, or will you lay low and snatch the biocore in a strategic shootout?
