Escalation doubles the largest map size and the maximum number of players, introduces strategic zoom, adds many new units and defenses that can be upgraded, an additional campaign, new world environments, and much more.
Those who bought Ashes of the Singularity early on will receive a free season pass to all new Escalation DLC released until end of 2017.

Was looking for an old-schoolish TA/Starcrafty game and decided to pull the trigger on this, especially since I been waiting for a beefy game to throw at my new Nvidia 1070 card. Here's hoping my i5-3350P processor and 8 gigs of RAM are up to the task because that ain't changing anytime soon...

I bought it when it first came out and really enjoyed the campaign. Bought Escalation when it was a separate product but didn't find the time to play it. I still want to revisit it.

Hello friends. Here with some news!
We are getting ready to release a major v3.0 update on February 4th, which is an overhaul of the game’s balance, with nothing left untouched - this includes units, buildings, orbital abilities, and lots more.
We’re really excited about v3.0 here because of how absolutely massive it is. It brings a new benchmark, performance optimizations, and major improvements to visual effects. New maps, campaign adjustments, and much more are also included.
This update is, quite literally, game changing - if it’s been awhile since you’ve given Ashes a try, now is a great time to take a look at it again. Both game factions have had their units and buildings carefully balanced against each other. Rather than just adjusting hit points and unit cost, v3.0 focuses on giving each unit a unique role to play. The AI has also been updated significantly.
You can learn more about the update on our forums if you like. It’s in beta right now under “opt-in v2.99 Preview” if you don’t want to wait a week for the official release. Enjoy!
