Cyberpunk action RPG The Ascent<\/a>‘s got a big DLC on the way, called Cyber Heist, that’ll add a journey to a whole new cyberpunk arcology for your mercenary for more cooperative shootin and\u2014in a whole new twist\u2014slashin. The Cyber Heist DLC will add melee weapons to The Ascent, like a big sword, or a big hammer, which naturally have neon on them because if it doesn’t fit the aesthetic why bother.<\/p>\n

The Cyber Heist is a pretty big sounding DLC, which I think we used to call expansions, and adds a post-game campaign about visiting another big arcology city owned by the Malhorst-Gelb Group. You won’t have to complete the main campaign to play Cyber Heist, as long as someone in the co-op group has completed it.<\/p>\n

“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. There\u2019s some new ground-breaking tech ripe for the taking, but you\u2019re not the only one with sights on the prize,” says the official description.<\/p>\n

We were pretty positive about The Ascent on release last year, with Andy Kelly giving it an 84<\/a> on the merit of its intense visuals and setting design. He also was very clear<\/a> on how much cooler The Ascent’s metropolis looked than Cyberpunk 2077’s Night City. For his part, editor Fraser Brown found that The Ascent’s big guns and explosions were a perfect escape from a stressful 2021.<\/a><\/p>\n
