- The process of bringing Sho'guul to UnderMine 2 - 12 August 2026
Hello, Peasants! UnderMine 2 has recently received it's fifth major update and it's a special one. 0.8.0 Demon Rivals brings Sho'guul back to the Undermine! I want to take you through the thought process a bit, because it not only explains how we brought Sho'guul back, but our design approach for UM2 and how it relates to the original UnderMine.Classic, but New Many elements and characters in UnderMine 2 return from UnderMine.

- What's Happening in UM2? - 17 June 2026
We stopped posting UnderMine 2 news to this channel since it was upsetting some people. We get it, but we wanted to update you all on what is going on with Early Access development incase you haven't dipped in yet. UnderMine 2 has spent nearly a year in Early Access with several major updates. It is now up to 4 playable characters, 7 zones and 8 bosses, along with an infinite mode, a difficulty challenge, and much much more.
