You will have a chance to try it early! A demo will be available during Steam Next Fest, June 9th—16th.

We have waited for this day for four years. We're so happy to finally share UnderMine 2 with you and continue developing in a live environment with your involvement. Our community is incredibly important to us. We can't do what we do without you. Thank you for your patience. We hope you enjoy this nugget of (extremely epic) music alongside this momentous announcement.

Make sure to wishlist UnderMine 2! You'll be notified the moment it releases.

We will have more information about Early Access at a later date, including what to expect from the game and our plans for where it is going.

UnderMine merch is currently 90% off at the Dual Wield store. These items won't be restocked, so it's while supplies last.

Join us, Thorium, for an afternoon of UnderMine 2 questions and answers!

It has officially been six months since we unveiled UnderMine 2, and we've been buried in development, building a ton of new content.

We're eager to show you what we have been working on and to take your questions about the game! Questions are being collected on Discord. Post your questions in the #questions-for-the-devs channel, or upvote the ones you want to hear more about.

We'll answer the most upvoted questions from Discord, take questions from the chat, discuss new features, and show parts of the game we haven't shown before. In case you missed our first Q&A, you can watch the archived video here.

Make sure to follow us on Twitch so you don't miss out. The stream will be Thursday, November 7th, at 2:00 pm PDT!

We hope you're all excited after the announcement of UnderMine 2. We've been collecting community questions in Discord and plan to answer them in an upcoming Dev Stream on Friday May 17th.

There is still time to get your question in, or upvote an existing question you'd like us to answer. We'll be answering the most popular questions, discussing new features with chat, and showing parts of the game we haven't shown before.

Jump into Discord and go on over to #questions-for-the-devs to find out what has already been asked and ask your own question.

We here at Thorium have been in stealth mode development for 3 years, but we’re finally ready to reveal our next project – it’s UnderMine 2!

UnderMine 2 builds on what made UnderMine great, but makes some significant changes and adds a lot of requested features, such as:

• 2 Player Local Co-op (online via Steam Remote Play)
  Play through the entirety of the game with a friend by your side. UnderMine 2 supports drop in and out co-op with dynamically scaling difficulty. See what new item combos and strategic options open up with two players.
  
  
• Playable Character Classes
  Discover, unlock, and play as different characters including some favorites from UnderMine. Each playable character has unique stats, abilities, upgrades, and relics they can find. Each character significantly alters the feel of the game.
  
  
• Branching Paths
  New regions of the Undermine have been revealed, and each branches off into various other areas. Navigate it to complete builds, quests, and different objectives. Your final challenge depends entirely on your decisions throughout the run.
  
  
• Arcana
  Wield new, interactive relics called Arcana. Each adds a new ability to your character, from casting fireballs to summoning skeleton minions to rearranging time and space. Arcana can make an old character feel new by centering entire builds around their function.
  
  
• Full Mod and Workshop Support
  We’re shipping you the tools we use to make the game and making it as easy as possible to upload and download mods from Steam Workshop. We feel we’ve created a really great technical platform and are excited to share that with you.
  
  
• And a lot more!
  More characters, more zones, more items, and more action all around!

We've gotten the question a lot and we're finally so happy to say: "Yes! Physical copies are happening! And preorders are (almost) here!"

We started talking with Limited Run Games back at PAX West '19, just after UnderMine hit EA, so it's been a long process. But, we're incredibly happy with the result and are so stoked to, not only get these in your hands, but our own!

Preorders open August 5th and will run for a month. Here are the links:

Welcome to WHIP peasant! Camilla has occupied Arkanos’ empty library and has a new motivational strategy. The Worker’s Helpful Incentive Program, or WHIP for short, is a daily run mode. Each day Camilla will present you with a random set of hexes, items, and a familiar. Your job is to run either Undermine or Othermine and score the highest score you can. Your best run will be placed on a daily leaderboard against other players. See if you can score the highest!

There is now a log in the journal that stores information about recent runs. See past runs in both Undermine and Othermine. See what their seed was, how much gold was collected, which enemies were defeated, and in the case of WHIP, how high a score was achieved.

Each familiar now has an alternate style that can be toggled at a magic mirror in Griswold’s room. Familiar styles can be unlocked by scoring over 100,000 points and completing a WHIP run with a particular familiar.

Hello peasants!

It's been a minute. I know it looks like we haven't done much in a while, but we've been working hard on all sorts of things. We got the Switch and PlayStation versions out. We have an upcoming physical release that will be announced later, new merch is on its way, and of course: UnderMine 1.2!

UnderMine 1.2 WHIP will release on August 6th, which happens to be UnderMine's one year anniversary!

If you're familiar with our updates you know that we do an official preview that calls out some highlights of the update. You can read that here: https://undermine.game/undermine-120-whip-update

We'd like to give a special shout out to our Discord community for their help testing and balancing this update. We really appreciate the dedication everyone has shown to UnderMine and the WHIP game mode.


Our goal was to try and coordinate a major update for the first year anniversary, but we also wanted to do a few other things.

UnderMine will be on sale for 50% off on all platforms. Unfortunately we couldn't time all the sales to be the same but here is the run down:

• Steam: Aug 7th - Aug 14th as part of the Yogscast Tiny Teams event
  
• Humble: Aug 7th - Aug 14th
  
• Switch: Aug 7th - Aug 13th
  
• Xbox: Aug 10th - Aug 16th
  
• PlayStation: TBD (We're still working with Sony)

PicoMine has been on hiatus, but we'll be finishing it up soon and hopefully dropping it on or around the anniversary.



New merch is in development with Dual Wield Studio and should be available soon. And if you can't wait we still have pilfers available.

We're also working with the community to put together a streaming event. More information on that soon!

If you would like to keep up with any of these things the best way to do so is following us on Twitter. Full patch notes will be available on the 6th along with the update. Until then, stay gold peasants!

We've been working incredibly hard over the last few months preparing UnderMine for the Nintendo Switch, and today it finally comes out! We made painstaking effort to make sure it runs perfectly. UnderMine on the Switch runs at a smooooth 60FPS both docked and undocked. Now you can play in bed, on the bus, or in the bath! Live your best life. Peep it on the Nintendo eShop at the link below.

https://www.nintendo.com/games/detail/undermine-switch/

In other news, UnderMine is 30% starting today as part of the Steam Lunar New Year sale!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/656350/UnderMine/

We're also currently jamming on a fun side project for the Pico8 called PicoMine. Design is not final, but for now it is an endless runner with elements from UnderMine. You can follow our progress on Twitter or Discord.



And don't worry if you're a PlayStation fan. We're working on the PS4 port as well, and it should be done pretty soon 😉
