Hello and welcome to the DXX-Rebirth project!
This project is dedicated to two of the most impressive First-Person Shooters of the nineties:
Descent & Descent 2
DXX-Rebirth is a Source Port of the Descent and Descent 2 Engines for Windows, Mac OS, Linux (most *NIX systems), offering OpenGL graphics and effects, advanced Multiplayer, many improvements and new features.
Descent and Descent 2 are pretty old games so you usually run into problems running it on more recent Hardware and Operating Systems. DXX-Rebirth will also take care about this for you.
It’s Open Source, it’s Multiplatform!
Still DXX-Rebirth is no clone. Our Philosophy is to bring these games to the new millenium, keep ‘em alive – reborn. It’s our desire to maintain the original Feeling and Gameplay we all love so much.
In short: If you love these games and if you want to play them, you came to the right place.

Newsflash
DXX-Rebirth v0.57.3 released!
Hey folks,
Today I’d like to introduce you to DXX-Rebirth v0.57.3. And as before it’s mostly a Bugfix release. A lot of work went into making the Multiplayer a lot more enjoyable and I took a lot of time to squish all the bugs that have been reported so far.
Here are some of the most important changes:
- Added extension-support for FLAC files to play via SDL_mixer
- Vastly reduced delay during Multiplayer matches
- Fixed double collision result when weapon collides with a wall
- Fixed powerups getting lost in a long Multiplayer match
- Fixed incorrect collision-detection when dealing with very large walls
- Fixed briefing support for Destination Saturn and Shareware
- Fixed possible issues when restoring Coop Savestates
- Fixed randomness for smart blobs when picking targets in Multipalyer
- Made homing projectiles a bit easier to dodge
- Added possibility to disable weapon autoselection while firing
- Added ability to manually cycle through whole weapon list, no matter if weapon is auto-selectable or not
- Many other Bugfixes and code improvements
