Story

Enter an intense cyberpunk world and experience fierce, dynamic combat! Conquer your enemies in the physical world and in cyberspace. Hunt for answers in humanity’s last remaining shelter. Ascend humanity’s last remaining shelter, a great tower-city. The tower is torn by violence, poverty, and chaos. Conquer your enemies, discover the secrets of the superstructure and your own origin and obtain the power to challenge The Keymaster. The game takes place in the future, after a global cataclysm where the remains of humanity live in a tower built by The Architect, who died mysteriously years ago. Everyone knows the truth, no one says it aloud. The world ruled by The Keymaster is harsh. A person’s worth depends on the category of implants they have, defining their whole lives. The implants—given to them in childhood—determine which social group a person belongs to. If you weren’t lucky enough to get a good life, there is nothing you can do. It's no surprise that a rebellion starts. You are a cyber-warrior, the only one capable of fighting both in the physical world and in cyberspace. Lost and hunted, thrown into the middle of the conflict, you must use this bond with technology to ascend the tower. As you climb higher, secrets are revealed. The clock starts ticking on a race to uncover the mystery behind the structure that houses humanity’s last hope. Solve the riddle or be killed—there is no other option.

What is happening now

Ghostrunner is a fast-paced first-person action game blending shooting, platforming, and cyberpunk atmosphere across multiple platforms. Players control Jack, a cyborg operative navigating hazardous environments in a vertical dystopia. While a third installment remains distant, One More Level has begun considering potential directions for the franchise. Studio head Szymon Bryła indicated the team has concepts for either a trilogy conclusion or a spin-off exploring the game's established universe. Whether such a project materializes depends on publisher 505 Games, though the developer remains interested in continuing the series in some form.
