Playdek, a leading mobile and video games publisher, and Stone Blade Entertainment, a premier developer and publisher of original board and card games, announce the release of Rise of Vigil an in-app expansion for the award-winning mobile game Ascension. Now available on the App Store, the new expansion features a new energy shard mechanic, adding even more depth and strategy to the game.
Ascension: Rise of Vigil includes 46 new center deck cards, including 11 new Monster cards, 24 new Hero cards, 11 new Construct cards and new starting deck art. The new energy shard cards allow gamers to unlock the latent power of Heroes, Monsters and Constructs and challenge players to take a second look at cards that initially might not appear powerful.

The game supports real-time and asynchronous online play for one to four players, as well as pass-and-play multiplayer features or play against AI opponents. The expansion also features new background theme art and music.
