Ascaron is a computer game company headquartered in Gütersloh, Germany. The company was founded in 1991 under the name Ascon by Holger Flöttmann and has since then developed entertainment software for the German market, with games franchises like Patrician, Anstoss, Port Royale and Sacred. They're biggest strengths are in trade/merchant strategy genre.

Early on they achieved a lot of success in Germany with their Anstoss series of football management games, but this when downhill after Anstoss 3 was completed. The series founder Gerald Köhler, along with another key programmer, defected over to EA and started up the 'Total Club Manager' series and later the FIFA Manager series. Anstoss 4 tried to deviate from the style of the the previous games but failed miserably. Ascaron tried to fix things up to ease backlash of its fans by releasing a much improved Anstoss 4: Edition 03/04, but the damage had been done and coupled with all the good football managers coming out of EA division, the Anstoss series appears to be dead.
