Avernum 3: Ruined World Release Date Announced

Avernum 3: Ruined World, Spiderweb Software’s latest title, should be releasing on January 31, 2018, according to a tweet by the studio’s founder Jeff Vogel. Judging by the game’s Steam description, if you’ve never played a Spiderweb game before, this would be a great place to start, and if you have, you probably know what to expect already, since this is essentially a remake of a remake.

Here’s the tweet in question:

We’ve announced that Avernum 3: Ruined World is coming out for Windows and Mac on Wednesday, January 31st!

If the game isn’t out on that day, someone please drop me an email? That means I forgot to press the Release button. pic.twitter.com/6pVGborXg4
