Underworld Ascension announced

OtherSide Entertainment has announced Underworld Ascension, marking the return of the groundbreaking franchise.

The game is aiming to bring innovation to the RPG and fantasy genre in much the same way that its predecessor did in 1992.

OtherSide is a new studio headed up Paul Neurath (Thief, System Shock, Ultima Underworld), and he's looking forward to getting the series back out there.

"With Underworld Ascension we are excited to be bringing back the Underworld franchise, making it more vital than ever before," said Neurath.

More details will be revealed in the coming months.
