Welcome to our inaugural episode of Rise Above. Today we're speaking with Ascendant Studio's own Bret Robbins about his storied career creating and directing unforgettable journeys like Dead Space and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3.

Just like when creating games, we're trying new things and learning along the way as we work to create the best podcast possible. Let us know what you think about Rise Above by rating and reviewing the show so we can grow and improve our podcast together.

Please consider subscribing to our newsletter, The Standup, for more insights and inspiration from industry-leading developers who are masters of their craft. We'll also occasionally provide inside info and updates about our game if you're interested in that.

Check out more content from Ascendant Studios on our website and YouTube channel, where you can watch talented developers from around the industry talk candidly about their experiences creating some of the best games ever made. We'll also take you inside the studio to meet the team behind our upcoming title, Immortals of Aveum, as we're developing the game.
