Publisher Curve Games and Swedish indie studio Neon Giant have announced new DLC for their Cyberpunk action-shooter RPG The Ascent, titled The Ascent: Cyber Heist, which will be available from 18th August 2022.
The Ascent: Cyber Heist is set after the base game’s main story and is accessible for those who’ve completed the main campaign and want to take on a new contract for a top-secret mission.
You can continue the plot either solo or co-op with friends in a range of all-new main missions and exciting side quests. Players can blast or smash their way through with brand new weapons, including advanced melee combat, in a new never explored location.
In Cyber Heist, Kira, your former employer, has a new top-secret job, and as a newly independent contractor how could you refuse? You venture outside of your familiar arcology into a brand new arcology owned by the Malhorst-Gelb Group. There’s some new ground-breaking tech ripe for the taking, but you’re not the only one with their sights on the prize.
Here is the full list of features included in the DLC according to the press release:
- Continue The Story – Solo or Co-Op: The Ascent: Cyber Heist can be accessed once you’ve completed the base game campaign. Bring your friends with you to take on this new challenging contract. Your squad hasn’t caught up with you yet? No problem, as long as you as the host has completed the main campaign, your squad can join up and help! (We know you’ll be carrying them anyway…)
- New Weapons: Speaking of carrying, experiment with all-new weapons, including for the first time in The Ascent – Melee weapons! So now you can get up close and personal with the new Rock Crusher and Guillotine!
- New Overworld Locations: Discover and explore a brand new arcology owned by the Malhorst-Gelb group with breathtaking new locations and environments.
- New Main and Side Missions: Continue the story of The Ascent by completing new challenging main and side missions. Encounter colorful new characters like Ontario and Zell along the way, and fight against new enemies.
The Ascent is available for PS5, PS4, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and PC via Steam on August 18th.
