WHAT IS AQUANOX - DEEP DESCENT?

THE GAME

Aquanox: Deep Descent is a reimagining of both the gameplay and world of the much-loved AquaNox-series, taking into account the scientific advances made since the first game. Like its predecessors, the game will be an underwater shooter/adventure game, in which players control a variety of customizable ships to engage in submarine battles in the underwater world of Aqua.

THE WORLD OF AQUA

The game is set hundreds of years after a cataclysm has forced humanity to abandon the surface of the Earth and populate the oceans. The scarce remainders of the human population struggle to survive in loose settlements. Traditional countries have seized to exist, instead powerful factions battle for supremacy and control over the resources of the deep sea.

THE AQUANOX SERIES

The Aquanox series has its roots in the game Archimedean Dynasty, released for MS-DOS by Massive Development and Blue Byte in 1996, which was followed by AquaNox in 2001 and AquaNox 2: Revelation in 2003. The AquaNox games were powered by the groundbreaking KRASS Engine that lead to the popular benchmark AquaMark. All games are vehicle-based simulation shooters set in a dystopian future where mankind has had to flee the surface and live in underwater stations in the oceans.
