Kolzig Posted February 5, 2015 Paul Neurath and Tim Stellmach from Looking Glass fame have put up a new studio and a Kickstarter to fund Underworld Ascendant, a successor to the marvellous old Looking Glass games Ultima Underworld and Ultima Underworld 2. Neurath was the lead designer of Ultima Underworld. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/othersidegames/underworld-ascendant I have been funding way too much stuff in the past few years in Kickstarter, but stuff like this I just can't stay away from. Looking really damn interesting. They got about 30% of the amount pledged already during the first day so far. They say a playable prototype exists already and there are some clips in the Kickstarter video of the current build. Estimated release date November 2016 so that would be about 1,5 years from now. They seem to have the rights to all the elements of the original Underworld games, but not to the Ultima name. The characters, monsters, settings, and stories from the original Underworld games are all available. I suppose EA still owns the Ultima brand, right?

Sno Posted February 5, 2015 Already posted a topic for it. Seems like quite a few Looking Glass guys are reuniting for this, which is probably the most exciting thing about it, i'd say. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
