The Ascent is getting Cyber Heist DLC by the end of August

“In Cyber Heist, Kira, your former employer, has a new top-secret job, and as a newly independent contractor how could you refuse?”

Action shooter RPG The Ascent is getting a new DLC in the form of Cyber Heist by the end of this month.

As Neon Giant previously announced, the DLC takes place after the original game’s main story and you’ll be able to play it both solo and in co-op mode. The DLC itself will add a bunch of new missions and side-quests to the game.

The blurb reads:

“In Cyber Heist, 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’s some new ground-breaking tech ripe for the taking, but you’re not the only one with their sights on the prize…”

Other than new missions and side-quests, the DLC will also add some new weapons, including melee weapons (like Guillotine and Rock Crusher) for the first time ever. We’re also getting a brand new overworld location thanks to the Malhorst-Gelb group and we’ll be seeing some new characters and fighting a bunch of new enemies as well.

The Ascent Cyber Heist DLC is coming out on August 18 on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. You can check out the trailer below:
