Descent: Underground Headed To Xbox One And PS4

Enoch Starnes

To start with, developer Descendent Studios struck up a deal in July of this year with Little Orbit (also known for taking over development of Yasumi Matsuno's Unsung Story) to assist with publicity, distribution, and funding. Then, on September 29th, the game was delisted from both Steam and GOG's early access programs to help speed along the finishing stages of development. Thankfully, Little Orbit confirmed that previous owners of the Early Access edition would still receive the full game upon release. Through all this, the most important information stemming from the partnership that the game will also be released on the Xbox One and PlayStation 4.

Currently, only one map is available for the new mode, but it sounds like there are plans to expand upon that. Should a teammate fall during the course of your noble defense, fear not. You can revive them if you're able to capture some strategic points scattered throughout the map.

Descent: Underground Adding Co-Op Soon

At the end of May, the development team pushed a new build to their test center that included a co-op vs A.I. multiplayer bots mode. The co-op mode has gone through some testing with those folks and it sounds like it should be added to the Early Access version of the game soon enough. In the latest update, Descendent Studios stated that the "next update will include online co-op play, the Warlock and Goliath ships, and much more."
