The Ascent’s launch date is rapidly approaching, make sure you’re ready to dive into its heady mix of cyberpunk and action with all the details you need to know. From launch date to trailers, you’ll get all the details you need to whet your appetite in advance of The Ascent’s release.
So sit down, plug in, and let’s dive into The Ascent together.
What is The Ascent?
The Ascent is a co-op action RPG shooter set on Veles, an overpopulated grim cyberpunk world filled with corruption, corporations who act in their own interests without thought for the little people, and danger. You play as a lowly worker, little more than chattel to The Ascent Group, the corporation who owns you and everyone else in your district. One day, a terrible event sees The Ascent Group shut down putting everyone around you into terrible danger. It’s up to you, and some friends, to make sure you find out what’s gone wrong and how you can stay alive.
You’ll be able to play alone or with friends in this cross between an action RPG and a twin-stick shooter. As you play you’ll customise your loadout and your character, switching between weapons on the fly as you blast your way to answers. No matter your playstyle, you’ll be able to customise your character as you level up, making them truly your own as you battle for survival in this world gone awry.
