Curve Digital and Neon Giant announced today that The Ascent will be available starting July 29th on PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Series S|X. Pre-orders have begun and we now know that the game will be priced at an MSRP of £24.99 / $29.99 / €29.99 / ¥148, though as we previously reported the game will also be added on day one to the Xbox Game Pass library on both console and PC.
As is tradition for any self-respecting game release date/pre-order announcement, there’s a new nifty The Ascent trailer that you can watch below.
The Ascent will offer players the chance to step into an action-orientated sci-fi RPG powered by Unreal Engine that takes the genre to new levels, available to play in both single-player and up to four-player co-op.
- A free-roam play style in a cyberpunk inspired dystopian world
- Classic RPG mechanics to enable players to build up their character including cyberware, 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 utilise 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
