The Ascent Reveals Cyber Heist DLC With New Weapons And Missions

Just last week, on the one year anniversary of The Ascent, developer Neon Giant teased that the game will be getting more content. That new content has finally been revealed, in the form of the Cyber Heist DLC. The top-down shooter was one of the stand-out games from last year, primarily due to its stunning cyberpunk aesthetic and the tight shooting mechanics.
