Patch Notes - v1.0.8.0

Ascend to ZEROPublished: Jul 16, 2026, 3:34 PM

Hello Ascenders,

As we mentioned in our previous patch notes, we received a lot of reports regarding crashes at crucial points - namely when fighting certain bosses. Today's patch resolves the root cause of that issue and we believe this will lead to a better Ascend to ZERO experience for everyone.

We apologize for the issues that have occurred. Rest assured that we will continue to fix things up as quickly as possible and continue to shape the best Ascend to ZERO experience. A lot of this has been possible due to the community providing reports and flagging up potential issues. Please continue to letting us know how we can improve the game via the CS forms found here, on Discord in the appropriate channels, or in the Steam discussions. Thank you!
