Ships That Fight Underground (STFU)

Ships That Fight Underground is an upcoming first-person shooter game developed and published by Little Orbit. The game was originally developed by Descendent Studios and was successfully funded via the crowdfunding website Kickstarter in 2015. The game was branded as Descent: Underground (later just Descent) under license from and intended as a prequel to the 1995 video game Descent. The game was temporarily released on Steam as an early access title the same year. Descendent Studios signed a deal with publisher Little Orbit for financial support. The game was expected to be available in 2019 on Microsoft Windows, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, but a lengthy contract dispute between the developer and publisher delayed release during which time the licensing deal with Interplay Entertainment for use of the Descent name lapsed. In March 2022, it was announced that the parties had reached a settlement agreement in which Little Orbit acquired all rights and assets to the game, which was renamed back to its pre-Kickstarter working title.
