The developers behind the original 90s classic game ‘Descent’, Matt Toschlog and Mike Kulas, the new six-degree-of-freedom tunnel shooter Overload will be heading to PC, Max and Linux May 31st 2018 for $34.99. Xbox one and PlayStation4 versions will be available Q3 2018.
“We started Overload as a nostalgic homage to Descent, but 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,” said Mike Kulas, co-creator, Revival Productions. Matt Toschlog added, “It’s been a blast creating this game, and we especially value the relationships we’ve formed with our Kickstarter backers and Early Access players.”
