Ashen’s Launch Date Mentioned As December 7 On Microsoft Store

I think this may have been a surprised that was ruined...

It seems like Ashen may have intended to be a “shadow drop”, as in an announcement made with an immediate (or almost immediate) release to follow. The Xbox Store and Windows Store both seem to have leaked what may have been intended to be a surprise—since they both have the game listed with a release for Friday, December 7 2018.

Considering how long people have been waiting for this game—it was announced quite a while back, and we haven’t received an official release day confirmation yet—I think a lot of folks are going to be surprised in a good way come tomorrow.

The game’s file size was also listed (on the Xbox One, it comes in at 6.61GB), which means the download shouldn’t take you too long, and you can jump into playing the game without much in the way of delay.

The listing has since been edited back, but you can see a screenshot below (via Windows Central). Now to see if they actually announce it ahead of tomorrow’s event (assuming it was even meant to be announced at tomorrow’s event). If you are interested in the game, make sure to check out our interview with its developers.
