We've also compressed ranks downward, it's time to show off what you can do with the new lineup! And don't worry Lords, though you may be (temporarily?) Dethroned, we've given you a little keepsake (it will unlock soon after the rank reset).

| Coming Soon: New Blood On The Streets | 2020-08-13 | Hey everyone, As you may have noticed, Underlords updates have been coming slower as of late. There are a bunch of reasons for this. Some of them are internal (many of us have been helping other recent Valve projects ship), some of them are external (2020 everybody). So what will you be seeing soon? In the next few weeks you can expect a hero rotation bringing with it 8 new heroes, old friends, new alliances, and new items as well as a rank reset. See below for a sneak peek! See you in White Spire! {STEAM_CLAN_LOC_IMAGE}/35233241/d08199a892a64318d39868bdb0544f4bf94b2b89.png {STEAM_CLAN_LOC_IMAGE}/35233241/dd485cccf089dfff01a5ccde4744c71f37e56 |
