Much like Exult and Nuvie, this project aimed to re-create an engine for an Ultima game that ran on modern operating systems without the use of patches. In this case, the game was Ultima Underworld. and the results looked promising. This engine, like Exult and Nuvie, used the original game data files.

Sadly, as of February 2007, Vividos has stopped development on Underworld Adventures.

I contemplated for a while the idea of moving this remake to the Orphanage, but decided against it for the moment; with Mojito, the remake had come fairly far along, enough so that I’m content to leave it in UW Remakes section for the time being.

Arx Fatalis would be perfect engine to use, sadly you cannot mod it.

And basically, Arx Fatalis IS UW3…

Indeed. Ah, the Underworld series…one of those rare instances where a spin-off demonstrated some serious, if unexplored, potential that could have added quite a lot to the main series.
