+ | |introduction = '''''Aquanox: Deep Descent''''' is a {{Glossary:First-person}} underwater {{Glossary:Vehicle combat}} and a re-imagining of the [[Series:AquaNox|AquaNox series]], set in a period that predates the [[Archimedean Dynasty]]. It is the first game in the series to not be developed by Massive Development. Its development was publicly announced in August 2013 by [[Company:THQ Nordic|Nordic Games]] and was followed by a successful Kickstarter campaign in 2015.<ref>{{Refurl|url=https://www.polygon.com/2013/8/23/4651434/aquanox-reboot-in-development-at-nordic-games|title=AquaNox reboot in development at Nordic Games|date=2020-10-06}}</ref><ref>{{Refurl|url=https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/806010995/aquanox-deep-descent/posts/1342725|title=We're funded!|date=2020-10-06}}</ref> | ||
+ | |||
+ | |release history = The game was released digitally on GOG and Steam on October 16, 2020, followed by its release on Epic Games Store on October 20. It is also available through retail channels offering a physical version containing bonus material. | ||
+ | |||
+ | |current state = As of the release day, the PC version lacks a number of important options, including a field of view slider and a vertical synchronization toggle. However, many of these options are adjustable through configuration files, while the native field of view can be modified using a community-made script. | ||

Aquanox: Deep Descent is a first-person underwater vehicle combat and a re-imagining of the AquaNox series, set in a period that predates the Archimedean Dynasty. It is the first game in the series to not be developed by Massive Development. Its development was publicly announced in August 2013 by Nordic Games and was followed by a successful Kickstarter campaign in 2015.[1][2]
The game was released digitally on GOG and Steam on October 16, 2020, followed by its release on Epic Games Store on October 20. It is also available through retail channels offering a physical version containing bonus material.
As of the release day, the PC version lacks a number of important options, including a field of view slider and a vertical synchronization toggle. However, many of these options are adjustable through configuration files, while the native field of view can be modified using a community-made script.
