A teaser trailer has been released for Necromunda: Underhive Wars, the video game adaptation of the tabletop game by Games Workshop.
The trailer, which can be watched below, introduces players to the grim world of the game.
New gameplay details have also been revealed today. Necromunda: Underhive Wars will sport, among other things, RPG elements and a deep unit customization. A Conquest Mode offering an endless campaign featuring 4X mechanics has also been confirmed.
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.
Necromunda: Underhive Wars launches on PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on a yet to be confirmed release date.
