When UK studio Illyriad Games releases Age of Ascent later this year, it will become the largest massively multiplayer online game in history. Because it runs on the Azure Service Fabric distributed systems platform in the cloud, Age of Ascent can automatically scale up to meet the demand of thousands of concurrent players joining battles directly in their browsers. And because ASP.NET Core is open source, developers can collaborate to continuously improve performance, making the most epic real-time gaming experience to date!
