Descent Reboot Announced For Early 2019 Release On Nintendo Switch

A 1994 classic is about to get its second wind on modern consoles.

Descendant Games just announced a reboot of Descent for major platforms. For now, the game is targeting an ‘early 2019’ release on Nintendo Switch.

Check out the teaser trailer and some artwork below.


About

Descent is reborn! Blast into classic six-degrees-of-freedom action-reimagined for a new generation using Unreal Engine 4!

Earth starves- resources dwindle, governments fall, and the last shreds of human civilization now belong to ruthless megacorporations. Mankind’s survival depends on water and minerals from deep space. Brave pilots fight deep within asteroids- their triumphs and tragedies broadcast back to Earth as entertainment… and a way to distract the teeming masses from the grumbling of their empty bellies.

Fly your way in 20 different ships with distinct roles and play styles. Customize them with noses, wings, skins, paint jobs, and a forest of tech tree upgrades. Deep dive into Descent‘s immersive single-player campaign or prove yourself in a variety of pulse-pounding multiplayer modes.

Prepare for Descent.
