Astral Ascent reveals Celestial Haven DLC

Astral Ascent is still trucking along, and Celestial Haven has now been revealed as the game’s next DLC. Nintendo Switch players will be able to access it in the near future.

The DLC features a cozy new area filled with adorable animals. All proceeds will be going directly to charity.

Below is the full rundown on what’s included:

The update introduces a brand-new area in the main hub, the Shelter, where a variety of fluffy animals will find their home. Players can watch them interact, move around, and even pet them. But these companions are more than just cute: they’ll also become valuable allies during the runs.

On each escape attempt from the prison, your chosen pet will faithfully follow you through the biomes, using their instinct to sniff out and dig up special rewards across the rooms. True to their cute nature, they’ll also cheer you on during your journey – celebrating when you defeat a Zodiac after a tough battle, level up, or perfect a room.

Beyond caring for animals in-game, players will also be supporting real ones: the studio will donate all the money received from the DLC’s sales to One Voice, a French animal welfare organization that for 30 years has been defending animals around the world against violence and abuse. Hibernian Workshop’s publishing partners have also joined the initiative, ensuring that 100% of the revenue goes directly to the charity.
