Ghostrunner: Story-Driven Project_Hel DLC Delayed To March

Update, 1/20/21:

Ghostrunner has received delayed story-driven DLC. 

Ghostrunner’s Project_Hel DLC was originally scheduled to be released sometime this month. However, it will now be available on March 3. Players will now have to wait slightly longer in order to get the DLC. It puts you under the Blade of Hel boss, who is from the base game. 

According to 505 Games the reason for the delay was to allow the team to finish the DLC faster and to ensure that the safety and health of studio employees and partners is maintained. 

This story contains more information about DLC. You can find it in the original story.

Original Story, 12/21/01

Next year, a new story-driven DLC is coming to first-person cyberpunk action-platformer, Ghostrunner, and it’s called Project_Hel. 

IGN revealed the news yesterday after developer 505 Games teased the “Ultimate DLC” last week. It turns out that “Ultimate DLC” was Project_Hel, the upcoming story-driven DLC where players will control Hel, one of the bosses from the game. Project_Hel will go live in January, but before that, some players will have the chance to go hands-on with it during a private beta held sometime before the DLC’s launch. 

Hel will be a “combat-oriented character designed to appeal to ‘new players and veterans,’ and will feature her own ability progression system,” according to IGN. Project_Hel’s story will be told through six missions. Hel must descend from Dharma Tower (a location heavily used in the base game). Project_Hel, in addition to new missions, will also feature new enemies, bosses and six brand new songs by Daniel Deluxe. 

Tell 505 Games IGN that it was initially planned as a smaller DLC before becoming a “full-blown Ghostrunner experience.” It will hit PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, PC, and Amazon Luna on January 27. The price will be $14.99

The studio also revealed that a new Holiday Pack would hit the game on December 7, and it’s a free cosmetics pack that includes holiday swords with matching gloves and more.
