More On: Necromunda: Underhive Wars

The Warhammer 40,000 universe is one of the most lore-dense, sprawling and expansive fictional realities going. There's always some new faction or corner of the universe from the series' long and storied tabletop history. Now Focus Home Interactive and studio Games Workshop are diving into the legendary Hive World with Necromunda: Underhive Wars.

This new cinematic trailer will bring you up to speed on the incredibly harsh, hardscrabble existence in the Underhive, a place where all air and water are recycled and food is more precious than platinum. The Orlock, Escher and Goliath Houses all vie for supremacy in this dank hell world, which you can explore when the game comes to Steam, PS4 and Xbox One this summer.

Journey into the Dark Below in Necromunda: Underhive Wars’ New Cinematic Story Trailer

Focus Home Interactive & Games Workshop partner for the first tactical RPG set in the infamous Hive World,
coming this summer to PC, PlayStation®4 & Xbox One

PARIS June 4, 2020 — Focus Home Interactive and Games Workshop® have released a new cinematic trailer for the third-person, turn-based strategy RPG Necromunda: Underhive Wars, giving you a unique look at the Warhammer 40,000 universe’s infamous Hive World.

The first video game adaptation of Necromunda, the mythical tabletop game, Necromunda: Underhive Wars brings you right up to the action, with an over-the-shoulder view of every epic takedown and battle. The nightmarishly polluted and dangerous Hive City is home to Houses Orlock, Escher and Goliath, each seeking to come out on top.

Dive deep into the twisted tunnels of the Underhive in the game’s compelling story campaign and Salvage Operations, where rival gangs will fight to the bitter end for personal power, wealth, survival and honor. Command, evolve and customize your gangs against the AI or with up to three friends online. The choices — and consequences — are yours, but only the strongest will survive.

Necromunda: Underhive Wars is expected to launch this summer on PlayStation®4, Xbox One and PC. Players can pre-order the game now on Steam.
