Coming up on the first anniversary of its release, the first The Ascent DLC for the twin-stick cyberpunk game was announced. Cyber Heist takes place after the events of the main campaign and introduces new locations, a new class of weapons, and a series of top-secret missions to play solo or with friends.
Once you’ve finished the main story, you’ll be able to connect with Kira, your old boss, who has a mysterious new job for you. She will take you away from the arcology of her home and into a brand new one that is packed with the latest technology owned by the Malhorst-Gelb Group.
To help you meet the new challenges, you will have some new weapons at your disposal. Melee weapons join The Ascent’s arsenal with the Cyber Heist expansion, so you’ll be able to try things like Rock Crusher and Guillotine.
The new story missions and side quests also involve talking to some new characters, and you’ll be able to play co-op even if some members of your party have been slow to finish the base campaign. As long as the player hosting the game has completed it, all party members can explore the new content.
Check out our Ascent review if you haven’t played this one yet – it’s a gorgeous game through and through, even if the beauty is only skin deep in certain areas. the The Cyber Heist DLC release date is set for August 18 and will be listed for $9.99 USD / £7.99 GBP.
