Ace of Spades was a 2012 first-person shooter and voxel-based sandbox video game developed and published by Jagex.

[8][9] Around 2012, Ace of Spades was acquired by British developer Jagex, which had previously started creating a new version of the game in mid-2011.

[1] Aksoy was reported to have agreed to the deal due to his critical financial state at the time, though was subsequently offered a position in Jagex' Cambridge headquarters.

[10] He continued working on the game from Jagex' offices until late 2012, when his laptop was physically damaged by one of the company's system administrators.

[11] The remade Ace of Spades was announced by Jagex on 1 November 2012, with a tentative release date set for the following month.

[23] Shortly following the release, on 21 December, Ace of Spades was updated with free downloadable content (DLC) containing four new maps, a new weapon and the reintroduction of the capture the flag game mode.

[24] On 24 January 2013, Jagex released, alongside other new content, the "Classic Mode" that aimed to play similarly to the 2011 prototype of the game.

[33] However, on 2 July, Jagex stated that Ace of Spades' shutdown would be postponed as they considered alternative futures for the game.
