Age of Ascent is a video game[2] that aims to become the largest MMO game ever created.[3] It is a spaceship piloting game built on cloud-based architecture.[4] The game was officially announced on February 28, 2014.
On March 14, 2014 Age of Ascent attempted to set a new Guinness World Record for the "World's Largest Videogame PvP Battle" during a public alpha.[5] The alpha was designed to support over 50,000 players with a throttling mechanism in place to handle up to 2,000,000 players. However, at its peak, the test saw 997 concurrent players, utilizing only 2% of the deployed server CPU capacity,[6] falling short of Eve Online's record of 4070.[7] The game was released out of early access on Steam in March 2022, but has never recorded any player activity since then.[8]
