'Warhammer Underworlds: Online' Gets New DLC, Drops Its Price - Trailer

Warhammer Underworlds: Online is a strategic, two-player digital conversion of Games Workshop's tabletop game.

Players choose a warband, build decks and face off in action-packed, turn-based combat, aiming to win by scoring the most Glory through defeating enemy fighters and fulfilling objectives.

Warhammer Underworlds Games Workshop’s ‘Ultimate Competitive Miniatures Game’ has been growing in popularity since its launch in October 2017. The tabletop franchise has released two major instalment boxed sets (Shadespire and Nightvault) and more than a dozen Warband expansion packs so far, and with a thriving community and tournament scene, the game shows no signs of slowing down.

The game’s deckbuilding elements enable a high level of strategy, while the short game time (30-60 minutes) makes it a great option for fans of both miniatures wargames and board games.

Warhammer Underworlds: Online has changed its pricing model, the game will now have a new base price of $9.99 USD.

All future purchases of Warhammer Underworlds: Online will include two base warbands, Steelheart’s Champions and Magore’s Fiends, as the starter warbands. Former base warbands, Sepulchral Guard, Ironskull’s Boyz, The Farstriders, and Spiteclaw’s Swarm will become paid DLC warbands joining Thorns of the Briar Queen, Eyes of the Nine, The Chosen Axes, and a new release, Stormsire’s Cursebreakers.

Stormsire’s Cursebreakers become the tenth warband to enter the fray, allowing players to take control of powerful battle-mages with mastery over howling storm magic. They are an elite warband that use special spell cards to take control of the battlefield.

“Changing the business model of the game now lowers the entry price for new players,” said Creative Director, Neil Rennison. “With eight DLC warbands to choose from, new players will be able to purchase specific teams that they like the look of or offer them a particular play style. We have more warbands in development too so it’s never been a better time to join the community!”

New content is distributed in two ways:

  • All players will receive continuous, FREE universal card releases at regular intervals.
  • Warband DLC expansions along with their warband-specific cards are available for $6.99 USD.
  • Future game updates will incorporate rules changes, new board layouts and visual changes to match newly introduced warbands from Nightvault, Beastgrave and Direchasm.

Warhammer Underworlds: Online is available for PC (Steam) for $9.99 USD and is available to play in English, Russian, French, Italian, German and Spanish.
