It not only made our AusGamers Top 10 Best Games of 2020 list, it also managed to be the best slice of cyberpunk-style storytelling and interactive entertainment in recent memory. The immersive Cloudpunk is a definite must-play if you're into neon-noir vibes, and today comes word from developer ION LANDS that a new bit of DLC called City of Ghosts is set to offer up a new and lengthy campaign.

Which is set to introduce a new playable character called Hayse in what's being dubbed a direct sequel to Cloudpunk. Once again taking place in the city of Nivalis we can expect new areas, new characters, and new things to do -- like take part in street races and fully customise your HOVA.

It looks very cool.

In Cloudpunk - City of Ghosts, you play as both Rania and new character Hayse in a more dangerous, more tense city of Nivalis. As Rania attracts the unwelcome attention of the massive delivery corporation Curzona, she must also evade a secret society of AI worshipping zealots. Her night gets even worse when the Debt Corps finally track her down, and Rania finds herself trying to outrun her past as well as a homicidal, chimeric cyborg. Meanwhile, drunken gambler Hayse tries to clear his debt before morning, but with an appetite for self-destruction and a bumbling CorpSec android for company, the odds aren’t in his favour.

Return to the city of Nivalis to explore new areas and meet new characters.

Play through a brand new, fully-voiced campaign as long and as compelling as the base game.

Compete in street races and fully customize every aspect of your HOVA to craft the perfect racing vehicle.

Experience multiple endings based on choices made throughout Cloudpunk and City of Ghosts that will change the city and the characters living in it forever.

Play as multiple characters including Rania, Hayse and more as you embark on a more ambitious, more dramatic campaign.

No word on a release date, but the Steam page is live with the tag 'Coming Soon'.

With the release of Cyberpunk 2077 set to define a lot of the 2020 videogame story, there's a definite appetite for exploring futuristic cities covered in neon lighting. Cloudpunk, from indie studio ION LANDS, puts you in the role of a delivery driver on her first rainy night on the job.

Taking on the role of Raina, your punching the clock as a delivery driver for the semi-legal firm known as Cloudpunk for the very first time. Although the various characters you meet and the packages you pick up are different, the simple structure is kept throughout. But, driving to and from locations in the often-stunning Nivalis and then running around streets and alleys to get to a destination, is a visual feast. And the simplicity of the mechanics adds to Cloudpunk’s appeal, going to great lengths to put the spotlight on one of the main characters seen throughout – the city.

With various districts and regions to drive through there’s a real sense of clarity and purpose visible throughout Nivalis. From shopping, to business, and different living districts housing those from high or low society, through to the freezing underbelly for people living off the grid. Paired with the ever-present rain and the ubiquity of artificial and colourful neon lighting, there’s a level of atmospheric detail that is impressive. And immersive.
