Deep Down was supposed to deploy in Japan around the time of the PlayStation 4’s launch in February, but, outside of an E3 trailer, has actually been missing in action for quite a while. Many pondered whether the lack of new information was a sign of the title’s quiet cancellation, but it’s re-emerged today ahead of the Tokyo Game Show in a sizeable seven minute showcase.
While the commentary is all in Japanese, the scale of the project does appear to have increased during its time outside of the spotlight. For example, the video offers a glimpse at some new beasts, and also some temple-like environments, which make a change from the dreary tunnels that have made up much of the release’s promotional material up until now.
The video closes with a 2015 release date, so hopefully we’ll start to see much more of the dungeon crawler in the run up to the New Year. Are you still looking forward to this curious free-to-play foray, or has your interest waned due to its protracted development schedule? Stab us with a rusty rapier in the comments section below.

Free to play, I didn't know it was... Pretty great. Some of the combat and the monsters are dark souls-esque but it's a lot more arcade like. Won't get any complaints from me.
I've been aware of the game but it hasn't really been on my radar the way The Order and Arkham Knight are, so it's delays aren't a big deal to me really. It looks interesting but I'm not sure I'll ever get into it. I've not tried any of the other free to play games like Warframe.
Was syked, but this donkey gets bored with dangling tasty carrots.
I have been looking forward to seeing more of this since the dragon scene, it looks really nice and gameplay looks solid from whats been shown, i am howerver always skeptical about free to play games and can only imagine the prices of, armour/weapons you might need to purchase to go further in the game to take on the really big boys.
Looks awesome, but it is Capcom. So, I have to remain sceptical.
We'll the game wins the "scariest fake loot chest" award
The more I see of this the more I look forward to it but at the same time I keep thinking a PS4 monster hunter would blow everything out of the water
@wobrussell that's something Sony really should throw their money at, I can see MS putting it on their must have exclusives
@SimonAdebisi if it ever got MH as an exclusive it would be the only reason I would even consider buying a xbone
Have sony even confirmed a western release on this yet? Last I heard it was japan only
It does look better and better and hopefully western release
The graphics on Deep Down look amazing, it also looks like my kind of game. I'm just hoping it gets a western release, as someone has pointed out so far it's Japan only.
If this is using the Panta Rhei engine Capcom was going on about awhile ago, I hope they can bring these kinds of graphics to the Wii U and XBO.
