5 Years Later, Cool Cyberpunk Shooter The Ascent Is Getting a Major Update — and It Sounds Like a Sequel Is in the Works

The Ascent is set for a surprise major update to coincide with the game’s fifth anniversary — and it sounds like a sequel is on the way. Neon Giant’s twin-stick action RPG impressed players upon its 2021 release for its punchy action, highly detailed environments, and beautiful cyberpunk aesthetic. That to me sounds a lot like The Ascent 2 is in the works, and perhaps a Nintendo Switch 2 version of The Ascent is coming. Could a full-blown first-person action RPG The Ascent game be a possibility? Not only is it working on this The Ascent update as well as whatever’s next for the franchise, but it’s developing the promising No Law, which looks a bit like Cyberpunk 2077.
