Having been delayed in January, Ghostrunner has received its prequel DLC, Project_Hel, today, adding a “brutally powerful” new antihero to play as, in a campaign that will see you once again scaling the dystopian Dharma Tower.
Project_Hel features a story set just prior to the events of the main game, in which you play as a combat android named Hel. Embarking upon her own violent mission to quell a rebellion at the base of the tower-city, Hel soon comes to harbour a fervent hatred for her creators, who keep her chained up between assignments.
And as a Ghostrunner with no biological components, Hel's ramshackle AI makes her impulsive, angry, and unstable. As such, she has a Rage meter, filled by slaughtering enemies to grant new abilities, like the Shield, Unblockable strikes that split enemy defences, and range-based energy Surges.
Hel also comes equipped with a Super Jump in place of Jack's grappling hook, as well as an air dash and Sensory Boost used for mapping out your trajectory. A revamped progression system also enables you to upgrade Hel's abilities, while four new enemy types and two bosses provide new challenges across seven levels.
Project_Hel is available for Ghostrunner now on Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, and PC, priced $14.99/£12.49/€14.99. Check out the launch trailer for the DLC below.
