Requesting Edits to Ascendant Studios Page[edit]

Hello. I am reaching out on behalf of Ascendant Studios to request edits to the Ascendant Studios page and offer additional resources for citation. Of note, our team is made up of industry veterans from many different game publishers and developers, not just Electronic Arts. Similarly, only a handful of former Telltale employees came to Ascendant after the shutdown. Below is information to help clarify key people at our studio, additional sources, and a brief description of our studio's history. Please let me know if I can be of an assistance with studio information or sources.
