The Ascent Comes to Xbox Series X and PC Later This Year

Neon lights, loot, and co-op

Veteran developers who have worked on Bulletstorm, Gears of War and Wolfenstein are working on a new game that was just unveiled for the Xbox Series X and PC. The Ascent is a dystopian cyberpunk action rpg that will offer online co-op through the game's story. Think Diablo meets Blade Runner.

“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,” says Tor Frick, Art Director and co-founder of Neon Giant.

This looks to be an Xbox Series X launch title and something pretty unique to top it off.

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 platforms discernible within play Double-aim mechanic enables players to utilize the full screen and choose between multiple targets anywhere in the environment A narrative-led adventure playable in single and up to four-player co-op modes
