Ascent Coming to PlayStation in March, New Game Plus Now Available on PC

Cyberpunk twin-stick shooter The Ascent finds a new home on PlayStation next month. This game has only been available on Xbox consoles and PCs since its release in July.

PS5 and PS4 players can enter the world of Ascent on March 24th. Pre-order comes with the RPG 33 Energy Rocket Launcher. The top-down shooter allows the player to navigate through a cyberpunk dystopia alone or with up to three other friends. The game offers a variety of weapons and cybernetic abilities, RPG-style progression and side quests.

There are also new prizes for Steam players. New Game+ is now available, so players who have finished the game can play the game again with all their gear/stats intact. Enemies and their attacks get stronger and hit harder and level increased to 30+. Weapons can also be upgraded after Mk.10. The Cyber ​​Warrior DLC Pack is now available for $4.99 for PC with 2 weapons, 3 weapon skins, 7 armor and new tactics.

Ascent was one of the most visually impressive titles of 2021. The gameplay and storytelling didn’t always hit the target, but they did provide a great cooperative experience. In his review, GI video editor Alex Stadnik wrote: I’m not going to write a thesis on commentary on capitalism, but the co-operative sessions that broke through this cyberpunk world will be memorable. That said, the shallow RPG elements, the lack of meaningful narrative, and the frustration of exploration were constants that really dragged the experience down. Neon Giant has built a solid foundation, and we look forward to seeing their future work grow into something truly worthy of a rise.”
