    BACKER BETA NOW AVAILABLE

    Our Backer Beta build is now available for Journeyman level backers and above! ($35+)

    Please log into your BackerKit to access the Steam key under the Digital Downloads page. This is currently available for only Windows; we will update our Mac and Linux backers when a build is available!

    Note that unlocking the Beta access on Steam does NOT mean you are locked into downloading Underworld Ascendant on Steam for your final digital download when the game launches. We are still in talks with GOG about a DRM-free release.

    If you had access to the Backer Alpha/Pre-Alpha build, you do NOT need a new Steam key. The Underworld Ascendant app should update on Steam to the Backer Beta Build.

    For more information on what's in the build, what you can expect, and a feedback form, check out our site here.

    THE BACKBONE OF THE ABYSS: THE SURVIVORS

    Over the last several months, our narrative team (writer/director Joe Fielder and writer Crispin Boyer) have been working with OtherSide Austin studio head Warren Spector to further refine and finalize Underworld Ascendant's story.

    For example:
    • Several new roles have been added, as we've expanded the population of characters within the Saurian town of Marcaul to include mediators to the Factions and more.
    • The player's nemesis Typhon is no longer a slumbering primordial nightmare, but is now an active taunting threat, full of menace and... wow, yeah, he's actually really damn scary.
    • The game now includes VO support for Memora, which are captured memories from major characters detailing important events and secrets of The Stygian Abyss. These are found as quest items in main quests and also hidden in dark and often difficult to access areas that only the clever and capable can find.
    • Final recordings took place several weeks ago! Those have since been processed, implemented within the game, and delivered to our Localization team for translation.
    • We are currently bearing down on locking down all in-game text, including bits of series lore and lizardman graffiti hidden throughout the lower levels of The Stygian Abyss.
