Ultima Underworld Remake Released

11 hours ago

Unity Underground is a downloadable Windows engine recreation of the 1992 immersive sim RPG 'Ultima Underworld', requiring the original game data (e.g., from GOG) to run.
It features all enemies and inventory/environment objects fully modeled and animated, unique audio and particle effects, and is designed for Xbox controller or equivalent input.
The project is complete and has been in development since 2015, with a detailed changelist showing frequent bug fixes and improvements up to May 2026.
User feedback includes praise for the engine's accuracy, performance on platforms like Linux via Wine and Steam Deck, and reports of bugs like disappearing weapons, invisible enemies, and puzzle issues.
The developer is actively addressing reported bugs, plans to add mouse and keyboard support, and has released the source code while excluding certain purchased or unique assets.
No donations are accepted, but donations to Ukrainian relief in honor of the model artists are encouraged; there are no plans for a UW2 remake or major visual overhauls.
