Nordic Games announces Aquanox Deep Descent, a planned continuation of the Aquanox series of underwater shooters in development at Digital Arrow. They also note that the pre-production version of the game incorporates "assets and research" from an unreleased THQ underwater action game called Deep Six. This was actually unveiled last year, as this trailer from September offers n early look. They have taken to Kickstarter to raise $75,000 to develop this. Here's word:

“Reaching the main funding goal of the Kickstarter campaign will allow us to create a new Aquanox game of the size and complexity it deserves, for gamers around the globe. At the same time, it also allows us to make its future players an integral part in development decisions surrounding the game at its earliest stages,” comments Norbert Varga, project lead at Digital Arrow.

“We’ve had long discussions with Digital Arrow about the scope of the game and the transition to Unreal Engine 4. Based on our positive previous experience with Kickstarter (The Book of Unwritten Tales 2 together with the developer KING ART), we firmly believe it is the right platform to help us achieve our joint vision for the future of Aquanox”, adds Martin Kreuch, producer at Nordic Games.
