Real diving
Air, buoyancy and decompression that work like the real thing. Every dive is a balance of air, depth and nerve.
01The game
It starts somewhere
you'd recognise.
A remote tropical bay. A weathered research vessel at anchor. A reef full of life. Descent: Into the Abyss is an open-world diving game grounded in real dive science and real marine life.
And the deeper you go, the less the ocean follows the rules.
That's all we're saying for now.

04Questions
FAQ.
When does it come out?
There's no release date yet. We'll announce a release window when we're confident we can hit it.
Which platforms?
PC, with a Steam release planned. No other platforms have been announced.
Is it related to the 1995 game Descent?
No. Descent: Into the Abyss is a new, original game by Ravix Games and isn't connected to any other game called Descent.
Single-player or multiplayer?
It's being built as a single-player game first. Co-op isn't confirmed.
How realistic is it?
Very, where it matters: gas use, buoyancy and decompression are simulated using the Bühlmann ZHL-16C model that real dive computers use.
Is the footage real gameplay?
Not yet, and we'll always say so. Everything we show is labelled as concept art, prototype or filmed in Unreal Engine 5.
