Krafton and Neon Giant have confirmed a release date for The Ascent: Ultimate Edition on Nintendo Switch 2, with a digital launch on the Nintendo eShop worldwide on 3 December 2026.
The announcement formalizes plans to bring the cyberpunk action-shooter RPG to Nintendo's next portable home console, packaged as a single edition that includes previously released downloadable content.
The publisher outlines the game's premise as a corporate-set arcology populated by diverse alien and human residents.
Players assume the role of a worker owned by the company that controls the district; when the Ascent Group suddenly collapses, that worker is thrust into a chain of catastrophic events and must fight to survive and investigate the shutdown.
In journalistic terms, Krafton positions The Ascent as a story-driven cyberpunk shooter in which a company-owned character navigates a fractured metropolis after the corporate infrastructure fails.
The Ascent: Ultimate Edition bundles the base game with all three DLC packs released to date: Cyber Heist, CyberSec Pack, and Cyber Warrior Pack.
The publisher describes this collection as providing access to the complete experience in a single purchase for Nintendo Switch 2 owners.
Key features confirmed for the Ultimate Edition include:
- Solo or Co-op: The full game can be played solo or cooperatively with up to three friends in local or online co-op, supporting four-player sessions.
- Explosive Shooter Mechanics: Players can switch weapons, use gadgets, take cover, exploit destructible environments, and adapt tactics against varied enemy types.
- RPG Progression: Character customization via cyberware, allocation of skill points on level-up, and equipment augmentations are core systems that influence playstyle.
- A Vibrant Cyberpunk World: The game spans multiple districts from slums to luxury spheres, offering loot, allies, and enemies across its setting.
The digital release on the Nintendo eShop for Nintendo Switch 2 is scheduled for 3 December 2026.
Neon Giant developed the game and Krafton is listed as publisher for this Ultimate Edition release.
For Nintendo Switch 2 owners, the Ultimate Edition offers a consolidated package of base content and DLC in a single, confirmed launch on the eShop.
