Descent: Underground is an upcoming first-person shooter video game being developed by Descendent Studios. On April 10, 2015, a prequel to the 1994 video game Descent titled Descent: Underground was successfully funded on crowdfunding website Kickstarter, raising over $600,000 USD. It is expected to release for Windows, Linux, and OS X in March 2016.
Development
In November 2014, several former developers for the game Star Citizen, led by Eric "Wingman" Peterson announced that they were forming Descendent Studios to work on a multiplayer game similar to Descent in play style, and with the working title "Ships That Fight Underground".[1][2] The company was approached by Interplay in December and a deal was struck to license the Descent name to Descendent Studios.
In March 2015, Descendent Studios announced a Kickstarter campaign for Descent: Underground, a new prequel using Interplay's existing IP rights to the Descent franchise (with Volition owning the remaining properties, such as the original "Pyro GX" ship and music).[3] It is powered by Unreal Engine 4 and has a planned release date of March 2016.[4][5]
