The Ascent is coming to Nintendo Switch 2, with a digital only edition that has the base game and the DLC. Alongside this announcement, we’ve seen new trailers showcasing the game’s cyberpunk combat and co-op gameplay. You can currently pre-order the Nintendo Switch version, on the Nintendo eShop, ahead of the December 3rd launch.
We previously reviewed The Ascent:
“The first thing that jumps out about The Ascent is not only how great it looks, but how much activity there is on Veles. World simulations like GTA and Red Dead Redemption take interactivity to the extreme but the team over at Neon Giant have really put the effort in with The Ascent. From the dark depths of the inner bowels of the engineering of Veles massive sub structures; where gears whine, steam vents from broken pipes and lights flicker casting ominous shadows through the damp tunnels; to the densely populated markets of the high street district awash with neon lights, shops, cafes and market stalls. Veles is alive.”
If you aren’t interested in the Nintendo Switch 2 release, there is going to be a Legacy Patch for PC, Xbox and PlayStation versions on November 18th, which improves localization, HDR support, and fixes a bunch of issues with the co-op teleporting, saving, progression and encounter systems. These improvements are also going to be in the Nintendo Switch 2 version as well.
If you’ve not played The Ascent, but want to get in on this cyberpunk, action-shooter RPG, now is the time! The game can be played in either a solo mode, or a co-op mode with up to four friends, if you want to play through a range of weapons, cyberware, and shape your own approach to combat. There has already been 12 million players who have tried out the game, so it’s time to join now.
