For some time, I’d forgotten about free-floating FPS Descent: Underground – seems it had simply gone radio-silent for a retooling, announced here. Still being labored on by Descendent Studios and now backed by writer Little Orbit, the game is now simply referred to as ‘Descent’, and is now a extra single-player oriented game, diverging from the initially multiplayer-centric Underground.
It’ll be getting into beta testing in November and is due for a 2019 launch, and might be a free improve (together with all pre-order DLC) for Underground’s early entry house owners and Kickstarter backers. Below, two new teaser trailers.
I have to admit feeling slightly nervous wanting on the re-debut trailers under. The story trailer feels slightly stiff and abrupt, and the fight proven within the gameplay teaser feels marred by stuttering efficiency and a few odd-looking results. Still, it’s good to see a six-degrees-of-freedom shooter with a solo marketing campaign bearing the Descent title once more. Fingers crossed. Little Orbit are at the least providing a good ‘welcome back’ package deal for returning Descent: Underground house owners, together with a multiplayer season go, plus further single-player DLC missions down the road.
Even if NuDescent doesn’t prove nice, at the least we’ve the wonderful Overload – a non secular successor to the Descent title, developed by lots of the unique staff. It even received slightly little bit of DLC not too long ago, including a brand new set of marketing campaign ranges created by the gamers utilizing its highly effective degree editor. As an enormous fan of the unique Descent and somebody that’s choosy about his old-school shooters, it’s the true deal, and if the soon-to-be Descent 2019 can provide comparable thrills? Well, everybody wins. Especially the 8,164 individuals who backed the game when it was Kickstarted back in March 2015.
The newly title-trimmed Descent will apparently start beta testing in November, and is due for launch in early 2019. You can discover extra information on its official page here.
