🎮 WHAT’S COMING NEXT? 👀

We’ve been working hard on New Game + in the past few months, we’re continuing to improve this new mode and hope to release it early this year along with the Cyber-Warrior Pack. We’ve updated our post-launch roadmap, which you can find below.



Oh and... this isn’t all we’re working on. We’ve tasked Noghead with hacking into The Ascent Group’s database, as soon as he decrypts the content, we’ll be sure to leak it. Stay tuned for more announcements!

Анонс The Ascent для PlayStation 5 и PlayStation 4 не за горами - порты снова засветлись в сети

Изометрический киберпанк-экшен The Ascent вслед за Тайванем прошел возрастную классификацию в Северной Америке для консолей PlayStation.

The Ascent is coming to PlayStation consoles, according to the ESRB

It looks like The Ascent is coming to PlayStation consoles.

That’s according to an ESRB rating dug up by Gematsu which lists the game for PS4 and PS5. The same listing popped up in Taiwan back in December.

The Ascent is an isometric shooter RPG set in a cyberpunk metropolis where mega-corporations rule a world, one where everyone works for them in a form of indentured servitude, paying off the debt they owe to those same corporations for bringing them to Veles.
