Cyberpunk-styled The Ascent gets rated for PlayStation

Being an Xbox exclusive, the game has been available for the Xbox Game Pass as well, for anyone who is interested in playing it. So far, there’s been no official update on the launch of The Ascent for Sony’s platforms.

However, last year in October, developer Neon Giant did drop a hint for a PlayStation 5 release, due to fans’ demand. Which implies that the cyberpunk-styled The Ascent is quite popular among the gamers. Well, in that case, the makers could come up with a proper date soon.

The latest news of the Xbox project receiving a PS5 and PS4 rating under ESRB has only escalated the hype. Because now, the fans can take a breath of relief regarding the possibility of The Ascent coming to PlayStation.

For those who are unaware, the game’s story is based in a dystopian, cyberpunk world. Players take on the role of a worker under The Ascent Group. The latter is a huge megacorporation that shockingly collapses, resulting in chaos and anarchy.

The main objective of the players, as the protagonist, is to find the reason behind The Ascent’s downfall. At the same time, they have to prevent the city’s takeover by various organizations and syndicates.

Do you think the game will arrive on PS5 and PS4 this year? Let us know in the comments section below.
