Ghostrunner is set in a world which is a unique, grim blend of cyberpunk and post-apo genres.

After a cataclysmic event, the remnants of humanity dwell within Dharma Tower, a megastructure constructed as a temporary shelter. A century of conflict led to a brutal division of Dharma — the lower the floor, the lower the resident’s status. The enigmatic Keymaster maintains this imposed caste system, but the people have had enough. Ascend the tower as a Ghostrunner capable of blistering speed and deadly precision, and learn the truth behind the Keymaster’s reign.

Join the resistance known as the Climbers on their mission to cut through the Keymaster’s regime. Death awaits on each level of the tower, from the derelict industrial machinery of the Base to the sickening sheen of the Summit. Dodge oncoming bullets by dashing and wall-running, then slice through enemies with a single cut. Cybernetic implants push the limit even further with bullet-timelike mechanics to keep the cyber-warrior out of harm’s way.

You are a cyber-warrior, a living weapon, the only one capable of fighting both in the physical world and in cyberspace. Lost and hunted, thrown into the middle of the conflict, you must use this bond with technology to ascend the tower.

High mobility of the main character, one-hit-one-kill, and bullet-time mechanics are the bases of the gameplay, which focuses on fast-paced, high-adrenaline combat.

Publishers 505 Games, alongside developers and partners One More Level, All In! Games, 3D Realms, and Slipgate Ironworks, proudly present Project_Hel, an expansion for the million-selling first-person cyberpunk action game starring a new character.

Project_Hel launches January 27, 2022, but eager fans can sign up here for a chance to enter an early private beta.

Initially planned as a smaller DLC, Project_Hel has grown into a full-blown Ghostrunner experience. Take control of Hel, one of the original games’ bosses, as she descends Dharma Tower on a bloody quest of her own. Designed to appeal to new players and veterans, she’s more combat-oriented and can survive an additional attack compared to the Ghostrunner. 

Run on walls, soar through neon cityscapes, and slice through six levels while mastering Hel’s powers through her own ability progression system. Battle new enemies and bosses to the beat of six fresh tracks courtesy of electronic musician Daniel Deluxe. Anyone who wants to play sooner than January can sign up for the private beta launching later this year. Those selected to participate will be included in Project_Hel’s credits.

To commemorate the upcoming holidays, enhance Jack’s look in the original game with a free festive sword and glove bundle on December 7. Paint the town red with the Rudolph’s Run and Boon swords, both inspired by gift-wrapping. Wield the frosty Solstice katana or slice and dice with the Nini Wonderland blade and accessorize each one with its own matching glove.

Project_Hel will launch on PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, Amazon Luna, and PC (Steam, Epic Games Store and GOG) on January 27, 2022 for $14.99/€14,99/£12.49.

To celebrate the holidays, download the free cosmetic Holiday pack beginning on Tuesday, Dec. 7, 2021, adding four new swords and matching gloves incorporating gift-wrapping, snowmen, and Christmas trees.

Key Features

• Ascend the tower – use the environment to your advantage and face fast and determined enemies.
• Act fast – armed with a melee weapon, get to the enemies before they have a chance to shoot.
• You are a cyber-warrior – fight both in the physical world and in cyberspace.
• Choose your own strategy – use your special abilities to avoid bullets and eliminate enemies: the dynamic movement system turns combat into a true dance of death.
• Trial and error – you die from one hit, so learn the levels by heart and adapt.

Ghostrunner’s vertical setting enables One More Level Games to show off the beautiful duality of the cyberpunk genre. RTX-powered raytracing highlights lower Meru’s crumbling infrastructure with grungy neon signs and the apathetic hedonism of the clubs and bars on higher levels. An intense retrowave soundtrack by the acclaimed Daniel Deluxe maintains an energetic throughline to punctuate this dangerous journey to the top.

Ghostrunner is available for Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PS4, PS5 and PC (Steam, Epic Games Store and GOG).
