Monolith Gaming is proud to announce an exclusive partnership-driven event that puts our community directly in the action. In collaboration with the Ascent Rivals development team, we’re bringing members a special-invite, hands-on playtest experience designed to showcase what competitive, high-energy racing combat can truly become. This is not a marketing demo. This is not a public beta. This is a chance to play early, provide feedback, and help shape the future of Ascent Rivals, side by side with the developers. Partnership & Game Overview Ascent Rivals is a fast-paced, competitive racing action title built around speed, precision, and split-second decision making. Players battle through intense, lobby-driven matches where movement mastery and skill-based combat are the difference between victory and defeat. The game blends adrenaline-fueled racing mechanics with competitive action elements, creating an experience that feels fresh, aggressive, and deeply skill-driven. Every match is designed to reward mastery, teamwork, and adaptability.
