IGN have posted their exclusive Underworld Ascendant pre-alpha prototype gameplay footage. In the nine minute video, the player character wanders around the lava-filled ruins seen in recent screenshots, fights skeletons and interacts with the environment, while art director Nate Wells and lead designer Tim Stellmach provide commentary.


There's also a shorter video featuring Paul Neurath and Warren Spector. It's not quite the promotional blitz I was expecting after Monday's update (which promised interviews with the developers, not just sound bytes), but maybe there'll be more later.
