The Avernum series is our biggest success in this business. We wrote our first game in this world in 1994, a full thirty years ago. (Yes, we've been in this business that long.)

The Avernum Saga is two trilogies. The first half (Avernum: Escape From the Pit, Avernum 2: Crystal Souls, and Avernum 3: Ruined World) has already been remastered. They tell the tale of Avernum's survival and battle for freedom. The second trilogy deals with the challenges to come, as powerful forces battle for Avernum's wealth and your land faces its final fate.

This huge project begins with Avernum 4: Greed and Glory. It will be a remaster of Avernum 4, which came out way back in 2005. The original is a massive RPG, full of skilled warriors and wizards using a multitude of weapons, spells, and artifacts to conquer an enormous world. It is also a very old game, and it doesn't run so good on new machines anymore. We want to fix all of this.

The Remaster

We are eager to remaster Avernum 4, and Spiderweb Software doesn't half-ass its remasters. We will go through every location, line of text, sound and graphic asset, and encounter, revising and expanding it all to make a really good game.

Avernum 4 was a big hit in its day, but it also had a number of flaws (like an underdeveloped story). We're going to put in a lot of time to fix those. The story is being heavily reworked to be exciting, engaging, and full of interesting choices.

We've done a bunch of remasters, and we're learned to respect what our fans loved about the series. The world, characters, and game system will be mostly the same. We will make a much more interesting story. We'll add new adventures, storylines, abilities, and ways to achieve your own destiny in the underworld.

We hope to complete Avernum 4: Greed and Glory in late 2025, and we have a long, long history of making our deadlines. Along the way, we'll give plenty of updates and give fans a chance to give their opinions about what is interesting and what should be developed more.​
