GDR has a preview of Arx Fatalis, thought to be released in Spring 2002. This dungeon crawl is made in the tradition of the Ultima Underworlds, and looks very promising. Here's a clip from the preview, which is, by the way, VERY short and doesn't offer new insights:
The game is set in an underground urban complex known as Arx Fatalis - the sun has retreated from the surface and disappeared altogether leading the inhabitants of this fantasy world to seek safety in the depths of a dwarf mine to survive. There, they are forced to become acquainted with the local wildlife, including goblins, trolls and ratmen - there's nowhere to run, with the forbidding cold on the outside of the Arx Fatalis fortress gate being enough to dissuade the bravest of souls. |
