Also available is a new free update that introduces a new transmog feature, meaning Indents can now change their look to match the visual Armor style of any gear currently in their inventory. All you need to do is visit the Stylist and pay a small amount to gain some cool new options when it comes to style. You can find the Stylist in each safe-zone in Cluster 13, The Node and Arcology Highstreet.
According to the post-launch roadmap, The Ascent will be getting one more update by the end of the year, with another free update and paid DLC pack out in 2022.

Dive into a world full of verticality, as you explore a giant skyscraper while freely roaming the rundown world. The combat is described as fast-paced with plenty of enemies to blast away.
