Cave-diving action roguelite UnderMine 2 announced by Thorium

Another interesting one from the Triple-I showcase is UnderMine 2, Thorium's follow-up to their pretty great cave-diving action roguelite and this one sounds like a good improvement over the first game.

They said it's been in development for three years now, building on top of the best parts of the first. Check out their teaser trailer below:

New features announced for the sequel include:

• 2 Player Local Co-op (online via Steam Remote Play) - Play through the entirety of the game with a friend by your side. UnderMine 2 supports drop in and out co-op with dynamically scaling difficulty. See what new item combos and strategic options open up with two players.
• Playable Character Classes - Discover, unlock, and play as different characters including some favorites from UnderMine. Each playable character has unique stats, abilities, upgrades, and relics they can find. Each character significantly alters the feel of the game.
• Branching Paths - New regions of the Undermine have been revealed, and each branches off into various other areas. Navigate it to complete builds, quests, and different objectives. Your final challenge depends entirely on your decisions throughout the run.
• Arcana - Wield new, interactive relics called Arcana. Each adds a new ability to your character, from casting fireballs to summoning skeleton minions to rearranging time and space. Arcana can make an old character feel new by centering entire builds around their function.
• Full Mod and Workshop Support - We’re shipping you the tools we use to make the game and making it as easy as possible to upload and download mods from Steam Workshop. We feel we’ve created a really great technical platform and are excited to share that with you.
• And a lot more! More characters, more zones, more items, and more action all around!

It's not clear yet if UnderMine 2 will have Native Linux support like the first entry, if not no doubt it will work with Proton.

You can follow it on Steam.
