UnderMine was one of 2020’s best hidden gems, and now Nintendo fans get to unearth its goodness when it comes to Switch on February 11. The game originally launched for Xbox One (via Game Pass) and PC last August. 

Switch players can pick up UnderMine for $19.99. UnderMine comes from the two-man team at Thorium Entertainment, and puts players in the role of miners who must dig below the earth in search of riches, resources, and colorful characters, all in the name of serving your kingdom. The presentation and design evokes classic Legend of Zelda with a top-down perspective and dungeon-style layout for each floor. That includes bombing weak walls, finding keys, and solving puzzles. 

Treasures and dangers increase as players get deeper, which includes facing challenging bosses. When players bite the dust, they return to the service with a new, randomly generated miner, and retain only a portion of their collected loot. Thus, the cycle becomes trying to gather as much valuables as possible each run in order to unlock permanent upgrades back on the surface to help make subsequent digs easier. 

If you heard me sing UnderMine’s praises on the Game Informer Show, you already know that I think it’s a fun, engrossing experience that wound up getting overshadowed by more high-profile roguelikes such as Spelunky 2 and Hades. Despite seemingly playing third-wheel to those titles, Thorium shares that over 600,000 players have picked up the game on Steam and Xbox. I had a blast playing it on Game Pass, and I’m considering double-dipping given how great of a fit the game is for Switch.

Ninja Theory has confirmed that there will be no new updates for the 4v4 multiplayer game, Bleeding Edge. While the online title will still be playable on Xbox and PC, it will not be further supported with additional content. 

The studio took to the game's official Twitter account to break the news and thank players for enjoying its online experience. "With the studio now focuses on our new projects (Senua's Saga, Project Mara and The Insight Project), we have decided that there will be no further content updates for Bleeding edge," reads the below tweet. The studio continued, saying "The game will still be playable on Xbox and PC. Thank you to the fans and keep teaming up and causing chaos!"

While it's sad to see that future support by way of new content is a no-go, it is good that the team clarified that the base experience is still available for all to enjoy, especially since the title hasn't been out for a full year yet. 

For those that may be scratching their heads at what Bleeding Edge even is, it is a chaotic team-based PvP experience that has an impressive array of characters to play as. While the reviews are mostly positive on Steam, the player count is still a little on the lower side and now with the news that no new support is on the way, newcomers joining in on the fray seems a little more unlikely. That being said, it's $29.99 right now on Steam and free for Xbox Game Pass members, so if you are interested in seeing what sort of chaos you can contribute, it's a good time to check it out! You can also watch us take for a spin in this episode of New Gameplay Today. 

Plus, you can play as a black-metal rocker that has killer (literally) guitar solos, why wouldn't you want to check that out? 

As for what else Ninja Theory is working on, they have quite a few games coming down the pipeline, but I'm most excited to see the continuation of the Senua franchise with Senua's Saga: Hellblade II. You can learn more about what the upcoming sequel has in store with our previous coverage right here.
