Build-Engine Ion Maiden from 3D Realms Early Access [Feb 28, 2018, 8:38 pm ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
Early Access to Ion Maiden is now underway
on Steam,
offering the chance to party like it's 1996 with a new Build-engine shooter
published by 3D Realms. This is a preview campaign, and
GOG.com says it's
also available there, but restricted to owners of the
Bombshell
Digital Deluxe Edition. Here's a reveal
trailer and here's word from
this announcement:
3D Realms is proud to bring back the Build engine, which powered Duke Nukem 3D, Blood, and Shadow Warrior, in all of its hand-crafted pixelated glory.
We’ve spent a lot of time tinkering under the hood to take advantage of new technology and techniques. Bigger levels, hundreds of new colors, and morphing maps that transform mid-level are all just a few of the advancements made to the engine.
Today we're releasing the ION MAIDEN in Early Access!
Early Access owners will be granted immediate access to an exclusive multi-hour preview campaign, which you can play RIGHT NOW!
This is a big moment for us - The first official 3D Realms IP to launch as a Build Engine FPS since Shadow Warrior.

No linear script event tube, a giant map where you can move around freely, see secrets, dont get to secrets, look for ways to get to secrets, despair, try to find the next key, despair, find the way to a secret, rejoice ... yeah, this might be a good one.
This looks pretty darn good!
