The remade Ace of Spades was announced by Jagex on 1 November 2012, with a tentative release date set for the following month. Jagex themselves stated that they had worked with "a handful of indie developers" to have the game finished in time. According to a former developer for Ace of Spades, who held a Reddit AMA on the topic, Jagex provided work-for-hire developer Blitz Games with Aksoy's code in November 2012, asking for it to be rewritten within eight weeks to meet the Christmas 2012 deadline. 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. 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.

Ace of Spades was received well, despite its early and unfinished state, and was listed amongst Kotaku 's "Best Indie Games of 2011" list and PC Gamer 's April 2011 "Best Free PC Games" list.
