Next week we’ll finally get our hands on The Ascent. The game is a isometric RPG set in a cyberpunk future filled with all the usual sci-fi trappings. It’s been one of the most interesting looking indie titles over the last year, and we have already seen and heard a lot about both the game itself as well as its development, like the challenges of cross-gen work with cross-play. Now we get a big deep dive on the game.
