Descent: Underground is now available
on GOG.com
as an "in development" title, which sounds like early access with a
less descriptive label.
This means the 6DoF shooter is for sale on their DRM-free marketplace as it is
being completed. This includes GOG Galaxy support for cross-play multiplayer and
a 50% launch discount that will last until January 21st. The news is illustrated
by
this in development
trailer, and here are the details:
The ups the downs, and brutal
takedowns of mining in space.
Descent: Underground,
the thrilling return of the first-person space shooter with 360 degrees of
freedom, is now available, DRM-free on GOG.com, with GOG Galaxy support for
cross-play multiplayer and a 50% launch discount.
The legendary Descent is back and it takes you deep underground! Built on Unreal
Engine 4 and improving upon the intoxicating flight mechanics of the originals,
it brings the fight to the most perilous corners of space, where only the
bravest or most desperate pilots venture in search of lucrative mining
opportunities. Customize your ship and team up with friends for some fast-paced
arcade action, spinning and swerving freely through twisting corridors as you
gun down your opponents.
Descendant Studios, the people committed to bringing back this beloved
franchise, are planning on adding a slew of neat features throughout the In
Development stage: more ship types, weapons, and gadgets, more ways to interact
with your environment, single player story missions, and tons of other cool
additions.
Jump into your agile spaceship, calibrate your blasters, and dive into
Descent: Underground,
DRM-free on GOG.com.
The 50% discount will last until January 21, 1:59 PM UTC.
