I'm curious (partly because the new name sounds more awkward to me).

Probably to make it stand out more and easier to search for. And to distance it from Ultima Ascension.

Right, I'd forgotten there was an Ultima game with that title. That's a pretty good reason.
It actually makes it seem a little odd that "Ascension" was considered as a name for this in the first place. Maybe they were simply as forgetful as me.

While I'm not bothered by them changing the title, I can't say that I'm all enamoured with the name to be honest.

Yeah, it does sound a little lame. It's not outright terrible exactly, but it doesn't really roll off the tongue or convey a clear idea. Hopefully it's just a working title.

Why the name change from "Ascension" to "Ascendant" ?
This is due to a legal issue regarding the use of "Ascension", in relation to "Ultima IX: Ascension".

Just wait 'til they change the name from "Underworld" to "Andromeda".
