The summer games show season is upon us, so here is the
E3 trailer for
Underworld Ascendant, the sequel to the Ultima Underworld games from
Otherside Entertainment, the developer formed by Warren Spector and Paul
Neurath. The clip comes with this elevator pitch for the game:
Published
by 505 Games, Underworld Ascendant will return players to a memorable and
breathtaking fantasy realm rife with danger and full of intrigue. The game
encourages and rewards player experimentation, boasting an environment that
reacts dynamically to player choices and a wide range of items, skills and
abilities that affords players meaningful gameplay decisions. OtherSide is
innovating upon the player-authored gameplay of the original series in bold new
ways to bring the ‘immersive sim’ genre forward in this action-RPG.
