Although the Xbox Series X gameplay showcase back in 2020 was underwhelming in terms of scheduled first-party titles for many, the firm did feature some highly-anticipated new IPs that would push the envelope for the new console generation coming later on. One of those being Neon Giant’s The Ascent. The game comes from a small group of developers with an ambition to offer an AAA experience with its world building.
Structured as a top-down RPG, players are given a new cyberpunk dystopia cluttering the entire screen of neon lights and layers of smoke. Originally, the game launched on Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. However, it did not take too long following the game’s release until it was listed for PlayStation and later shipped for the platform.
This week, however, Neon Giant & Curve Games launches a new add-on experience for The Ascent ‘Cyber Heist’. You can watch the launch trailer in the video below:
“Kira, your former employer, has a new top-secret job, and as a newly independent contractor how could you refuse? Venture outside of your familiar arcology into a brand new arcology owned by the Malhorst-Gelb Group,” the synopsis reads on Steam. “There’s some new ground-breaking tech ripe for the taking, but you’re not the only one with sights on the prize.
“Put your skills to the test as you take on this new challenging job. Explore brand new environments, fight your way against new enemies and experience new ways of fighting using melee weapons!” What are you most interested about the new DLC for The Ascent?
The Ascent is out now for Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PC, and PlayStation 5.
