Descent Underground Coming To PS4 and Xbone
Rancho Santa Margarita, Calif. – Nov. 1, in the year
of our Lord 2017 – Worldwide Video Game Publisher,
Little Orbit, today announced it has partnered with Descendent
Studios, the Austin-based developers of Descent: Underground: a
reboot of the classic full-freedom shooter Descent. Under the
agreement, Little Orbit will publish and distribute the game by
expanding distribution of Descent: Underground to include retail
boxed copies and console versions for Xbox One and PlayStation 4
in addition to Windows, Mac and Linux.
"We're proud to help give the Descent series the full, modern
AAA rebirth it deserves," said Matthew Scott, CEO of Little
Orbit. "Descendent had the experience, the vision, and the
drive. Now with our help, they have the support to take Descent:
Underground out of this world!"
In August, Little Orbit took over development of Unsung Story, a
crowdfunded tactical RPG project started by Yasumi Matsuno. With
Descent: Underground, Descendent will continue to lead
development, while Little Orbit is providing completion funding,
additional resources, marketing, and distribution. In order to
focus on finishing the game faster, Descendent recently delisted
the game from early access on Steam and other sites. Little
Orbit confirmed that players who purchased Decent: Underground
in early access would receive the finished game upon release.
"Little Orbit is helping us to enrich players' experience in
Descent: Underground with a larger storyline campaign, excellent
art, and deeper metagame," said Eric Peterson, Descendent's CEO.
"With Little Orbit on board, we're progressing faster towards
delivering the amazing modern rebirth that Descent deserves!"
