Rival gangs of ruthless warriors are locked in an endless war for control of the Underhive, a gigantic warren of derelict factories, rusted metal husks, and forgotten technologies. Anarchy, violence, betrayal and death rule this hellish place, long forsaken by any semblance of civilization.

The turn-based tactical gameplay pits you against rival gangs in brutal gunfights, taking place in huge, vertical environments. Necromunda is a planet covered in poisonous ash wastes, forcing its population to live in Hive Cities, massive man-made structures built up over thousands of years to serve just one purpose: provide to the Imperium. In Hive Primus, the rich and noble live above the clouds in the Spire while the poorest and worst-off live in a massive and forgotten subterranean metropolis, the Underhive, where criminals fight in a perpetual gang war for control.

Command one of Necromunda’s iconic gangs, embracing anarchy, violence and death in an endless war for control to dominate this hellish place. Pick between the Eschers, an all-female gang who have made their name through selling drugs and chemicals throughout the Underhive, or the Goliaths, hulking warriors worshipping physicality and using strength-enhancing drugs to dominate in battle. Other gangs will be unveiled in the coming months.

Compose your gang carefully, based on the style of warfare you want to wage. Every fighter is highly customisable in loadout and appearance, and has access to a career which unlocks further skills, traits, weapons, and visual elements. Battle in the vertical environments of the Underhive, use raised walkways to push a high ground advantage, set traps for unwitting victims, and ambush your foes to force them into bloody melee engagements. With each battle won, your gang members grow in power, earning more powerful skills and loot, but beware! Even victories will result in casualties - deaths and injuries are permanent, and you’ll need to live with the consequences of every battle.

For an even deeper challenge, Conquest Mode offers an endless campaign featuring 4X mechanics between the turn-based battles. Fight over key territory to take complete control and prove your gang is the most fearsome on Necromunda! Then bring your unique gangs online, challenging other players in competitive multiplayer, and claim the Underhive for yourself!

Gritty, full of attitude and with a wealth of underlying lore, Necromunda: Underhive Wars recreates the brutal and ever-warring metropolis through a wide variety of distinct maps.

Struggle for victory in brutal gang warfare across Hive Primus’ 26 unique maps and use the verticality, the freedom of movement, and the many traps at your disposal to your advantage. Completely gridless, Underhive Wars encourages players to move as they wish across its endlessly grinding rust-heavy factories and forgotten toxic tunnels - but remember: whether you join the Escher, Orlock, or Goliath in your bloody climb to the top, in the Underhive death is ever-looming, and life cheap.

All 26 of Necromunda: Underhive Wars’ maps will be playable in each of the title’s 3 main Game Modes (Story, Operations and Skirmish). More than just a nice scenic backdrop for the action to take place in, each one of these hand-crafted environments has been specifically tailored to provide you with fun and meaningful tactical opportunities, across different types of scenarios and objectives.

From smaller arenas designed for brutal close-quarters engagements, to sprawling vertical complexes surrounded by jaw-dropping vistas, we’ve worked really hard to recreate the many iconic (and treacherous) landscapes of the Underhive, in ways that would both stay true to the source material, as well as expand upon its original grimdark vision of Mankind’s far-future.

• Synth Still: Linked together by an unfathomable number of derelict pipes and ducts, endless fields of immense cisterns are used to hold the myriad of dangerous chemicals produced and discharged by the Hive's restless manufactorums
• Cargo Dome Arena: In a place once rumored to be a prime hauling site for stolen freight now lies an infamous arena, used by underhive gangs in no-holds-barred, merciless contests of survival, where fortunes are won and lives lost.
• Hangar: Once a bustling transport center filled with the noises of endlessly transiting cargo, this ramshackle hangar has now become a locus of violence among the local gangs, vying with the utmost ferocity for every remaining scrap of salvageable materials.
• Hangar Roof: This towering structure was once walked by the logistics overseers responsible for the uninterrupted conveyance of goods below. It is now a heavily contested vantage point, fought over by gangs wishing to survey and control the surrounding territory.
• Switchyard: Acting as a connection hub between several ancient rail lines, this rotating dome also contains various storage warehouses and infrastructure facilities, vital to the transport wagons linking the hive's different sectors.
• Switchyard Alley: A former housing block soon reclaimed by the unrelenting sprawl of machines and industry, this old passage has witnessed countless generations of maintenance workers accountable for the ceaseless flow of equipment and merchandise within its grounds.
• Switchyard Roof: This flooded facility once acted as the nerve center of all transport operations held within its dome. Nestled in a strategic location, the site has long since been overrun, fought over and fortified by Gangs eager to use it as a base of operations.
• Gunshell Factorum: This complex is known to have produced untold numbers of Macrocannon shells - gigantic ballistic casings produced here before moving on to assembly, and finally being shipped off-world, to fuel the edifice-sized gun batteries used by the Imperial Navy's warships in devastating broadside volleys.
• Gunshell Yard: An industrial waste pile, filled with abandoned ordinance and rubble from the foundry above. Countless gangs and scavengers have stalked these halls, eager to scrape a living from the mountains of discarded shells amidst the fumes of molten alloys.
• Abandoned Infirmary: Over the millennia, many complexes such as this one were built to house the medical amenities, supplies and specialized equipment used for the provision of summary healthcare services required to maintain each Sector's production quotas.
• Palanite Commissary: This fortified outpost lies in a strategic location guarding access to the Sectors beyond. Once occupied by a garrison of Hive Primus Enforcers, the run-down barracks within now serve as a formidable redoubt for Gangs bold enough to claim them.
• Discharge Station: Arrays of unstable plasma coils used to be brought here for discharging into massive power cells. Dangerous work to be sure, on top of which the frequent energy surges were also known to attract exotic - and often lethal - types of underhive creatures.
• The Arboretum: With flora cultivation being next to impossible in the underhive, entire domes were dedicated to the growth of but a few specimens. Far too costly to use as food sources, these plants and their fungal parasites are instead harvested for the production of various chem components.
• Stinger Mould Sprawl: Originally constructed as a docking station used for the triage and dispatching of organic cargo, this facility was then expanded to accommodate growing beds of exotic fungi species - the spores of which have long ago begun to spread in a completely untamed manner.
• Gear Factorum: Many generations of workers have spent their whole lives ensuring that this factory's giant smelters, conveyors and metalworking machines would never come to a halt. Relentless cogs in a wheel - just like the objects they were forced to produce.
• Nautica Station: With water being such a rare commodity in the hive's lower levels, many facilities were built to store and purify the few available reserves. As new Sectors were added on top of old ones, some of these installations were abandoned, forgotten or deemed too polluted to maintain.
• Heat Sink Epsilon 73: Deep within the Hive are many giant power stations. Using any and all possible sources of energy, they generate the enormous amounts of power required to fuel the continued extraction and transformation of every ounce of the planet's available resources.
• Water Still: Enormous receptacles and treatment facilities were once built to collect, decant and process the precious water found in the noxious liquids that percolate in the frozen and still wastes of the Hive's entrails.
• Chemical Pools: An inevitable byproduct of the industry above, untold amounts of toxic and irradiated chemicals are continuously discharged to the lower levels of the Hive. Extremely dangerous, these oozing effluents are nonetheless reprocessed to extract any possible remaining value.
• Abandoned Railway: Once a vital rail line for the transport of goods, this tunnel fell into disuse centuries ago when a ceiling collapse was deemed too expensive to clear. Only the Gangs now walk these halls, eager to harness the energy still produced within.
• Maintenance Shaft: A utility shaft containing sewage mains, water filters, and purifiers. Thousands of miles of tunnels like this ensure the proper functioning of the Hive, with many of them having been reclaimed by Gangs using them as hideouts against rivals and Enforcers.
• Conduit P9.2030-208: A ruptured cooling conduit has transformed this former maintenance tunnel into an inhospitable, frigid deathtrap, although the remaining power cells have allowed Gangs to keep using it as a place from which to conduct illicit operations.
• Sludge Sea: Industrial effluence flows downhive from miles above, often creating its own path. Structural erosion and toxic miasma are constant hazards in the Underhive's forgotten tunnels - though they are far from being the only dangers.
• Corroded Catwalk: The underhive is full of labyrinthine catwalks and elevated passages, some being the only routes left connecting adjacent sectors. Gangs often occupy these strategic choke points, eager to maintain a stranglehold on any wishing to traverse them.
