Set in a sprawling open world, Ashen is a tight, 3rd person, skill-based action RPG about guiding your wanderer through a newly lit world. Fight alongside others, forge friendships and defeat the creatures of shadow determined to cast the world back into darkness.

There are those who prefer the darkness and will try to stop you on your quest. You’ll need to be fast on your feet, quick…
