UnderMine 2 comes to Early Access in July with co-op

UnderMine 2 from developer Thorium is set to enter Early Access on July 22nd, promising to take the best bits of the fun original and expanding on it. It will also feature local co-op play this time around too so you can bring a partner along for the ride.

A demo will also be available during Steam Next Fest between June 9th—16th.

Highlights:

• PLAY WITH A FRIEND - Invite your friend to drop in and play through the entirety of UnderMine 2 together! Two-player co-op lets you tackle the game with each other, presenting a dynamic challenge and opening up new strategic options.
• PLAYABLE CHARACTERS - Discover, unlock, and play as new characters, including Black Rabbit, a lucky and ambitious treasure hunter. Each character has unique stats, abilities, upgrades, and relics.
• 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.
• FULL MOD AND WORKSHOP SUPPORT - Easily create new items, characters, encounters, quests, and more with paintable tilesets, a visual scripting editor, and other included development tools. You can also easily download other players' creations through Steam Workshop.

While the original had Native Linux support, you'll need to run this one with Proton.

I really enjoyed the first one and it's exactly the type of game I can happily sink hours into, so I'm also quite excited about an expanded sequel.
