Ein "großes" Update kann für die Early-Access-Version von Descent (ab 79,90€ bei kaufen) : Underground kann runtergeladen werden. Neu ist u.a. die Mehrspieler-Karte "Rama", die sowohl offene Areale als auch enge Räume bietet. Abgesehen davon, dass die Spieler fortan eigene Matches erstellen können (Karte, Spielmodi, Freunde einladen), darf man zudem in das Torch-Cockpit (Pyro-Vorgänger) steigen, den Nachbrenner einsetzen oder Annährungsminen im Level platzieren. Descent: Underground soll in der ersten Jahreshälfte 2016 für PC, Mac und Linux an den Start gehen und wird gerade mit Herbst-Sale-Rabatt bei Steam angeboten.

    • is the default Afterburner on gamepad.
    • However, if you have customized your controls, you may need to add it manually.

    • Different ships now start with different gadgets.
  • Multiplayer now offers the option to "Create Match" and "Enter a Key" (play with your friends!) in addition to "Quick Match".
    • Matches can be started private and made public, but only before the match starts.
    • Match will start automatically about 30 seconds after the lobby has more than the minimum number of players

  • A new arena map called "Rama" has been added for the enjoyment of your adoring fans!
  • A Career page is now available in the drone bay, so you can see kills, deaths, points, etc. Achievements are coming, but are not being tracked just yet.

Ach ich weiß nicht... Wenn man sich auf Youtube die ersten let's plays reinzieht, sieht diese Death-Match-Schei... ultra langweilig aus. Das echte Ausnutzen von 3D hat doch damals nur im Singleplayer Sinn ergeben, wenn man ein komplexes Labyrinth hatte wo man den Ausgang und den Reaktorkern sowie den kürzesten Weg zwischen beiden suchen musste.
Das war zumindest für mich die größte Stärke des Spiels.
Und die prominente Platzierung des ingame-shops lässt auch schon Böses ahnen.
