About the Game

Tribes: Ascend is the world s fastest shooter - a high-adrenaline, online multiplayer FPS with jetpacks, skiing, vehicles, and multiple classes. The classic shooter franchise Tribes has been played by well over 1 million people. With Tribes: Ascend, the franchise is reborn – fast-paced, vertical, acrobatic combat combined with class-based teamwork and stunning sci-fi visuals.

Key Features:

Skiing: A slow solider is a dead solider. By holding down space bar you remove friction and build momentum to traverse large maps, hunt down targets, and escape enemy territory at intense speeds.

Jetpacks: Total freedom of movement and aerial, dog-fight like combat. Class-Based Combat: Unlock up to twelve distinct classes, each with unique weapon loadouts and abilities.

Player Progression: As you play a class you gain experience which is used to unlock class-specific skills and perks. You can also share the xp gained while playing a favorite class to progress other classes.

Escalating Intensity: In each match you earn credits for shooting down enemies or supporting your team s objectives. Use these match credits to upgrade base defenses, access vehicles, or call-in tactical strikes. The longer you play, the more chaotic the match becomes.

Vehicles: Pilot the powerful Beowolf tank, the speedy two-person Grav Cycle or the versatile flying Shrike. Beautiful, Massive Battlefields: Wage war in a variety of open environments including frozen wastelands, sprawling cities, and jagged mountains.

Don t Fight Alone: Friend-list allows you to link up with others and establish supremacy online

Free To Play but not pay to win: All items affecting game play can be earned by playing the game itself. Players can purchase optional Tribes Gold to unlock classes more quickly and/or skills more quickly. Players will also be able to purchase cosmetic skins with Tribes Gold.

Spectator Mode: Highly-detailed spectator mode allows you to zoom in on your favorite players, view player data, and switch between action hot spots on the fly.

In July 2013, Hi-Rez co-founder Todd Harris said that the studio was going to take a six-month break from updating free-to-play shooter Tribes: Ascend so that they could focus on Smite. Fast forward more than two years, and the studio has surprised us with patch notes for a new update due this month.

Among other changes, we know from the preliminary patch notes that this upgrade includes a new Capture the Flag map Terminus, class changes e.g. that all have been condensed to three choices: Light, Medium, and Heavy, and other tweaks.

Hi-Rez hopes to release Version 1.1 for public testing on or before September 14, so they can gather feedback and fix bugs before doing a proper release. Over at the Tribes sub-reddit, creative director Sean McBride has pointed out that the changes listed so far are just the early changes and do not represent the entirety of the actual patch.

McBride is new to the creative director role. According to his LinkedIn profile, he was art director at the studio from 2006, until last month, when he got the new job. His job description suggests this new update represents significant reinvestment in the game:

I oversee development and set the new direction for the Tribes:Ascend revitalization project. I m passionate about Tribes and with a high level of involvement with the community we intend to move the game in a direction that works for everyone.

Given that Tribes: Ascend was good enough to get an 88 when Evan reviewed it for us, that looks like good news to me.

At 5pm EST today, Tribes: Ascend will undergo six hours of downtime as its first patch since March 2013 is applied. It s a substantial overhaul of the free-to-play.

Tribes: Ascend is a free-to-play multiplayer-only first-person shooter and part of the Tribes franchise. It is developed by Hi-Rez Studios and is currently available.

In July 2013, Hi-Rez co-founder Todd Harris said that the studio was going to take a six-month break from updating free-to-play shooter Tribes: Ascend so that they.

With the new Out of the Blue patch, we wanted to bring back classic elements from older Tribes games, while not alienating Tribes: Ascend fans.
