We’re excited to announce a brand-new action RPG The Ascent, which offers players the chance to step into an action-orientated sci-fi RPG that takes the genre to new levels, available to play in both single-player and up to four-player coop.
We wanted to create a sci-fi RPG where players can play in the way they like, building up their character with cyberwear, augmentations and looting in a story-driven environment. For us, creating The Ascent has been about us all taking what we’ve all learned from working on Triple-A titles like Gears of War and Wolfenstein and bringing it to a highly focused project like this, redefining what gamers might have come to expect from a title developed by a small and flexible team.
The Ascent will feature:
- A free-roam play style in a cyberpunk inspired dystopian world
- Classic RPG mechanics to enable players to build up their character including cyberwear, augmentations and looting
- An unprecedented sense of verticality within its world, with different levels and platform discernable within play
- Double-aim mechanic enables to utilise the full screen and choose between multiple targets anywhere in the environment
- A narrative-led adventure playable in both single and multiplayer forms
