It's going to be a Long Night as Game of Thrones Ascent for iOS gets its first expansion
The night is dark and full of terrors. Especially now that Game of Thrones Ascent has been updated with its first expansion: the Long Night Cycle.
Developed by Disruptor Beam and published by Kongregate, Game of Thrones Ascent is a strategic role-playing game adaptation of George R. R. Martin’s “A Song of Ice and Fire” fantasy novel series and the HBO TV series “Game of Thrones.”
It was released for iPad last March, ahead of the season premiere of the TV series, and updated with universal support for iPhone and iPod touch in July.
Now, Game of Thrones Ascent has started the Long Night Cycle as part of its first expansion. “Our first expansion to Game of Thrones Ascent brings you back to the North to fight White Walkers and more!” Disruptor Beam notes. “Begin a new World Event cycle as a terrifying plague breaks out in the Gift. Carried by Wildlings and Wights, the deadly illness will spread to Westeros if you don’t act now!”
The Long Night expansion sees the addition of a new Tactics feature to the game. This includes Alliance and Member Tactics, with the former adding bonuses that can affect your entire alliance and the latter affecting your character.
