While we may only faintly remember Trials of Ascension: Exile for a pair of failed Kickstarter campaigns back in 2015, the hardcore fantasy sandbox nevertheless has persevered in development to the point where the title went into Steam early access last month. The game is perhaps most notable for the fact that, along with playing as a boring human, you can adventure through the world as a web-spinning spider or a flame-spitting dragon. It’s a survival game at heart, so expect a lot of crafting, building, and (presumably) dying. Speaking of dying, one of the server options is to allow permadeath, a feature that the team feels is desirable to certain players. Trials of Ascension’s first early access patch rolled out this week with lots of quality-of-life and database improvements. The dev team has a huge shopping list of features that it is working on for the future, including a magic system, various growth stages for characters, and more server host options.

Dragons Take Flight In Elder Scrolls Online As Elsweyr Hits The PTS
The Elder Scrolls Online Public Test Server today. Elsweyr is the latest chapter in ESO and the second part of the year-long Season of the Dragon adventure. The chapter opens up the Khajiit homeland to adventurers, introduces the new Necromancer class, the new Sunspire Trial, and of course, dragons! “Practicing necromancy in Tamriel is a criminal act. In most cases, mages caught casting necromantic spells can feign ignorance or insist that the spell originates from a different school of magic. Some spells, however, are too horrific to overlook. Any necromantic ability marked as a 'CRIMINAL ACT' is a major crime, and will offend the locals and alert the guards.” The release also comes with Update 22 for the base game which includes the new Guild Finder, new guild features, PvP Weapon Artifacts, Cyrodiil Campaign tweaks, reworked item sets, and more. If you’ve tested a chapter before, you can jump right into Elsweyr through the ESO launcher.
