Renryuu: Ascension

Renryuu: Ascension is an adult fantasy RPG that has been in Early Access since November 30, 2021 and remains in active development. The developer, Naughty-Netherpunch, has maintained a remarkably consistent monthly update cadence — all 50 news posts scanned represent content updates, and the 10 most recent updates span November 2025 through August 6, 2026, each delivering new story events, CG scenes, character arcs, dungeon content, and gameplay improvements. The August 6, 2026 update (the most recent, posted today) adds substantial story content — including new war events against an undead army, a new mini-game quest, CG scene updates, and accessibility improvements — and closes with a preview of what the next update will focus on: introducing CG scenes for the player character's children. This confirms development is continuing beyond the current update. The June 5, 2026 update included an explicit developer statement that "the main story is still scheduled to be done before the end of the year," confirming meaningful story content remains to be completed. The store description also notes "many hours of gameplay... and more with every update!" The game's Early Access status on Steam reflects the developer's own ongoing characterization of the game as an unfinished project, consistent with the steady stream of content being added each month.
