PARIS – OlderBytes has announced the release next week of the highly-anticipated Gold Edition of the first-person, party-based, role-playing game Swords and Sorcery –Underworld, which has gained a wide following of RPG fans who appreciate its loyalty to 1980s-style dungeon crawler games.
“ Swords and Sorcery – Underworld has come a long way since its first edition, evolving into a full-blown RPG that incorporates high-definition visuals, exciting mechanics and engaging plot and characters,” said Charles Clerc, lead designer and programmer of the Swords and Sorcery series. “I’m proud to introduce the Gold Edition – the final edition of Swords and Sorcery – to our tried and true fans and to new players seeking a very true-to-the-roots role-playing experience.”
Swords and Sorcery – Underworld Gold will be released for Windows-based computers. Clerc said that announcements will be made soon about the game’s sequel, which is well underway in development.
The Gold Edition features extensive additions of new content, enhanced graphics and interface and new combat rules and tactical options that heighten the challenge, complexity and unpredictability of the game’s action compared to earlier editions.

The answer to victory lies deep below in the Underworld.
