Several years after escaping the dungeon hell of Kickstarter however a bit later than deliberate, Underworld Ascendant has introduced a launch date of November 15th. Y’know, the action-RPG coming from OtherSide Entertainment? Y’know, the studio co-founded by Ultima Underworld designer Paul Neurath and Deus Ex director Warren Spector? Y’know, whose legacies are felt in immersive sim-y components from sneaking to stacking bins to go obstacles? That one, them lot, that stuff. Have a gander within the new trailer contemporary out of Gamescom at present.
It’s a continuation of the Ultima Underworld games (with out the Ultima identify), see, and a first-person action-RPG immersive sim doodad. You’re turned unfastened with targets to attain however a good diploma of freedom in how you can method them, working as you please inside intermeshing techniques of physics and AI and whatnot. All these emergent toys: stacking, throwing, burning, splashing, shoving, distracting, stealing, manipulating, and who might overlook murdering? Or that’s the plan.
I’ve heard and browse combined reactions from people who performed preview variations and located the techniques not that attention-grabbing to muck about with – and never far more efficient than simply murdering all the pieces. Perhaps that’s why this launch date is a bit later than deliberate; as lately as June it was slated to launch in September. Hopefully the additional time helps sufficient, as I don’t wish to reside in a world the place hearth feels incorrect.
Underworld Ascend is due on November 15th via Steam, priced at $30.
