Yes, you've read it right, the 6 Degrees Of Freedom DESCENT game from the 90s is on it's way back in the form of DESCENT: UNDERGROUND. Vetrans from several classic franchises such as Wing Commander (including the amazing Wing Commander IV: The Price Of Freedom) have obtained the rights to DESCENT and everything that comes with it from Interplay. They have created their own studio DESCENDANT STUDIOS just for this project,
DESCENT: UNDERGROUND will be a prequel to the first DESCENT game. It will have both a single player campaign and of course insane online multiplayer. There will be a variety of maps from more open areas to the calssic twisting and turning tunnels. You will have multiple types of ships to choose from (one being the predecessor to the classic PYRO ship from the original DESCENT game), and have the ability to mod it any way you like. The game will be open sourced for modders, and will be available DRM free! Also, they are being extremely open with their development, and are embracing input from fans and supporters.
I don't support many Kickstarters. Currently I have helped fund 7 (3 games, 1 short film, and 3 local bands that I am freinds with). So I don't throw money at many projects unless I know the people or I really want to see the project succeed. This is one that I really want to see get made. Please check it out, and consider giving them a few bucks. They have 15 days to go and are halfway there. Maybe if enough Nintendo Life members ask for it, they may port it to the Wii U.
