It's about time. Hopefully it's not casualized and plays similar to Arx Fatalis which was also made by former employees of Looking Glass Studios. Seriously, it better be first person with a hunger system to boot too.

Not much is known about the game at the moment other than that it's heading to PC. Paul is joined by another Looking Glass former employee, Tim Stellmach.

 

According to TIME, there's numerous people who worked on the original Ultima Underworld who are involved with this successor.

Wow, not sure what to think about that. The first Ultima Underworld is my favorite game of all time (a spot it shares with Planescape Torment). Apart from Ultima Underworld 2, no other game ever came close to recapturing the magic of that game for me.

I couldn't even get into Arx Fatalis. Frankly, even if this turns out great, I really doubt it'll manage to live up to the original as far as I'm concernend. UW was simply years ahead of its peers at the time, and to achieve somehing similar today, the game would have to be revolutionnary.

Still will be keeping an eye on this. There's a very good chance it'll turn out to be an enjoyable game.

If it's first person then I will not be playing the game.

I loved both Ultima Underworlds. Yes... I learned to read the lizard language in Underworld 1.

 

Good games. Hope the next is on the PC and just as immersive to play as the first 2.
