Back in September of last year, Spiderweb Software announced Avernum 3: Ruined World, the final entry in the rebooted trilogy of Avernum old-school RPGs. You see, back in the mid-90s Spiderweb released a trilogy of games known as the Exile series which were well-loved among CRPG fans. In the early 2000s, Spiderweb decided to remake the trilogy using newer technology and expanding on the games significantly.

Those re-rebooted games released for PC but also made their way to the iPad as Avernum: Escape from the Pit HD [$9.99 (HD)], Avernum: Crystal Souls HD [$9.99 (HD)], and finally the soon-to-be-released-on-iPad Avernum 3: Ruined World HD. Here's the Avernum 3 trailer.
