The latest Stygian Sentinel update posted to the Underworld Ascendant website is pretty sparse, overall, although it does discuss more than just the addition of Warren Spector to the OtherSide Entertainment team:

Our previous update focused mainly on the newest addition to the OtherSide crew, the one-and-only Warren Spector. This time, we thought we’d dig into what the team’s been focusing on recently on Underworld Ascendant.

In short, A LOT!

We’re making steady progress on combat swordplay; our first creature in our art director Nate Wells’ new “authored look” is in-game and actively engaging the player; and further refinements and learning are being made on level design.

All of this will go into a playable build that we’ll share with Backers who have Prototype Access in April. (If you haven’t gotten Prototype Access yet, you can do so here.)

Additionally, the game’s ongoing crowdfunding campaign is now really, really close to the next stretch goal:

At the time of this writing, we’re less than $2,000 away from the $925,000 Reward Tier that unlocks The Wailing Haunt. So close!

If you’ve been considering raising your backing or spreading word about our game to friends and followers, your help could allow us to add this undead monster to the Underworld Ascendant bestiary.
