Ashes & Ascension

All New Campaign

Looking to capitalize on the rare show of cooperation between the Great Houses following the Battle of Coventry, First Prince Victor Steiner-Davion has called on all the nations of the Inner Sphere to come together to respond to the threat of a renewed Clan invasion. Lyran Alliance Archon Katrina Steiner-Davion graciously offers to host the international conference on Tharkad.

With the fate of the entire Inner Sphere at stake, all eyes now turn to the First Whitting Conference. And everyone, be they house loyalist or independent mercenary, cannot help but be sucked up into the conference’s all-consuming orbit.

  • Experience an 18-mission cinematic campaign, our longest yet.
  • Hunt down 10 new High-Reward Crates.
  • Explore the updated Inner Sphere map, spanning 3058–3060.
  • Jump into Career Mode with 5 new faction starts set in 3050.
