Cyberpunk action adventure Ghostrunner is to get a new Project_Hel DLC, publisher 505 Games has announced.

The expansion will see you taking control of Hel, who was one of the bosses in the original game. Rather than ascending, you’ll now be descending Dharma Tower with your own set of abilities and powers as you head out on a ‘bloody’ quest. Hel’s major difference is that she’s more combat orientated, so expect this expansion to lean more heavily on fighting. She can also take one more hit than the original Ghostrunner.

Hel’s got her own ability and progression system, and there’s brand new enemies and bosses for her to fight against. There’ll be six levels to play through that also have their own music tracks. Eager gamers will be able to get their hands on the expansion early can even sign up for a private beta here.

To bridge the gap between now and the expansion, there’s a free cosmetic Holiday-themed pack for all players.  That’ll comprise of the Rudolph’s Run and Boon swords, a Solstice katana and a Nini Wonderland blade, each with matching gloves.

You can check out a trailer for the Ghostrunner Project_Hel expansion down below. It arrives on January 27, 2022 on Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch and PC.
