Savant - Ascent REMIX Nominated For Best Audio At The gamescom Awards
D-Pad Studio are delighted to announce that Savant - Ascent REMIX has been nominated for Best Audio at the gamescom Awards, alongside Armored Core VI and The Legend of Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom.
"We're trying to land from this incredible nomination. We know Savant (Aleksander Vinter) has poured everything he's got into the soundscape and music of the game. We're the underdogs in this, as we're up against maestro titans, but if anyone deserves this spot - it's Aleks."
The gamescom Awards will be presented at Opening Night Live on Tuesday August 22nd ahead of the game's release on PC on Steam, GOG and Epic on September 15th, following later on PlayStation, Switch, iOS and Android. The full soundtrack will also be available for purchase on Steam. Here is a musical teaser from the game on YouTube.
"What's special here is that Savant is launching his new album alongside the game. We're skipping his usual platforms (Spotify, Apple Music, Bandcamp) so that the soundtrack will remain license free for players to stream/record as they please. It's important, as the game really is an extension of the music."
In Savant - Ascent REMIX, you play as the Alchemist, who's been cast down from his tower by an unknown force. Your goal is to ascend back to the top, with your movement limited at all times to two platforms, be they moving elevators or space debris. By using rapid volleys of magic missiles to take out attacking enemies and precise dashes and jumps to move between the two platforms, you must try to survive the deadly journey back to the summit.
Savant - Ascent REMIX is the ultimate way to experience a musical artist's persona as you've never done before! The game is based on the universe of Savant - developed in collaboration with Simon S. Andersen of D-Pad Studio (Owlboy/Vikings On Trampolines). Hear Savant's unrivaled genre bending in action as you obtain new pieces of the soundtrack and remixes. The game even gives you the option to customise your own playlist as you play.
For those attending gamescom this week, the game will be playable in the consumer area as part of the Indie Arena in Hall 10.2, so make sure you stop by if you want to jump into the action before Savant - Ascent REMIX launches.
