About the Game

The very fate of the human species relies on you. The year is 2176 and humanity has been forced to abandon earth and rise into space to start a new civilization. Thanks to faster-than-light travel, humanity has a glimmer of hope remaining. We need your help to build our new home and protect it from those who would snuff out the light.

Age of Ascent: Arrival is the prologue game in the Age of Ascent franchise being developed by award-winning veteran indie studio Illyard Games Ltd. With a strong PVP community and an engaging PVE environment, AoA is a multi-player space combat and strategy game set in an ever-evolving galaxy.



Like all of our games, Age Of Ascent: Arrival is free to win. We believe that games should be available to all no matter the budget, a sentiment that has kept us going for over 10 years.
We look forward to you joining our family as we look to play and evolve our games together for decades to come.



Engage in deadly dogfights with cutthroat pirates, architect AI, or even your best friend over the dwindling resources and credits to upgrade your fleet of custom ships. Fly together or solo to get that payday from the corporations controlling the cosmic space.


Dive into the custom shipbuilding and character creator. Focus on the skills that will best suit you and team up with others to cover the ones you lack in an interactive skill tree. Change the look and the handling of the different ships in your hanger to master the galaxy.

This is just the beginning, we will continue to work hard on the development to continue to expand. New missions, skills, and stories.
