Today, Revival Productions that their new six-degree-of-freedom tunnel shooter, Overload, would be available on Steam and GOG for Windows, Mac and Linux on May 31st. The PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions will release sometime in Q3 2018.
Being developed by the original creators of the critically-acclaimed 90s classic, Descent, Overload was started as a nostalgic homage to the 90s classic. According to Revival Production’s co-creator, Mike Kulas “it’s really grown into something more. We were able to create a deep story with voice, a new challenge mode and add VR support. And all this is on top of graphics and sound we could only dream about 20 years ago.”
Descent was developed by Parallax Software and published by Interplay in 1995 to critical acclaim for its 3D six-degree-of-freedom gameplay that combined the best of space flight simulation with FPS experience. Overload offers a Descent-like style of play, but brings the labyrinthine environments to new and vibrant life with updated features, deeper gameplay, and dramatically enhanced graphics. Overload is currently available in Early Access on Steam.
There is also a playable teaser for the game on Steam or by direct download from the official website.
