The Ascent: Cyber Heist is set after the main story of the base game and is accessible to those who have completed the main campaign and want to accept a new contract for a top-secret mission. Continue the story alone or in co-op with friends in a series of new main missions and exciting side quests. Players can make their way through brand new weapons, including advanced melee combat, in a new location never explored before.

In Cyber Heist, Kira, your former employer, has a new top-secret job, and as a new independent contractor how could you refuse? Venture outside your family arcology into a new arcology owned by the Malhorst-Gelb Group. There are revolutionary new technologies ready to be exploited, but you're not the only one with your eyes on the prize.

Solo or co-op with your friends, take on challenging new missions, explore new environments, fight against new enemies and experience new ways to fight with melee weapons!

• CONTINUE THE STORY - ALONE OR IN CO-OP: The Ascent: Cyber Heist is accessible after completing the base game campaign. Bring your friends with you to face this challenging new contract. Your team hasn't caught up with you yet? No problem: if the guest has completed the main campaign, his team can join and help him! (We know you'll take them with you anyway...).
• NEW WEAPONS: Speaking of transport, experience all the new weapons, including, for the first time in The Ascent, melee weapons! Now you can get closer to the new stone crushers and guillotine!
• NEW OVERWORLD LOCATIONS: Discover and explore a brand new arcology owned by the Malhorst-Gelb group with new locations and breathtaking environments.
• NEW MAIN AND SIDE MISSIONS: Continue the story of The Ascent by completing challenging new main and side missions. Meet new colorful characters like Ontario and Zell along the way and fight against new enemies.
