Ascendant is a fresh take on the extraction shooter that truly tests your ability to adapt, and you can give it a try this week. The punky FPS will enter a PC closed beta on April 5-6.
The squad-based tactical FPS hurls you into a biopunk world with a hint of 80s retro panache. While your in-game character has been on ice for millennia, the world has gone dystopian thanks to a cataclysmic event called the Cascade. There's good news for fans of 80s fashion, though, as that's one of the few things that survived – handy, too, as Ascendant is packed with plenty of character and weapon customization.
