The Ascension update is massive, adding campaign co-op and a new survival mode that sees you climbing a tower filled with monstrous new bosses and creatures.
We don't have long to wait, Returnal Ascension is being released on March 22.

Keeping with the Kaiju theme, another new game shown off in the showcase is Gigabash. It's a four-player vs game that sees each of you playing as a giant monster battling in a very destructible city.
It's due out later this year and looks like a blast.
