Retake the City
RETAKE THE CITY
Hello Underlords!
We hope everyone is staying safe and keeping their distance. While it’s been a bit of a transition moving to a work-from-home situation, the team is happy to announce that one of the features on our ‘post ship’ pile is ready to go - City Crawl Prestige!
It's been exciting to see the community having as much fun as we've had playing City Crawl. We were even more excited to see just how many people have already completed the entire thing! To that end, today we are adding City Crawl Prestige to Dota Underlords.
When you’ve taken over all of White Spire, you now have the option of Prestiging. When you do this, the whole city gets reset, including all of your Streetfight items. This time completing City Crawl will be rather harder, but the Streetfight items you’ll earn will also be rather stronger (and have spiffy new names, check them out during the fights). To mark the occasion, players who have completed City Crawl at least once get a Prestige seal on their Wanted Poster, as well as a flashy crown for all of your Underlords in-game. And yes, you’ll be able to Prestige multiple times.
We’re also taking this opportunity to dress up the Wanted Posters a bit – players who have unlocked the Battle Pass now get some extra flair to show off their Battle Pass level.
Take care and see you in White Spire!
GENERAL
Fixed an issue with the Play Again button on the post match screen not taking you back to the main menu to queue up.
Fixed a bug with later rounds in some Streetfights where enemy units wouldn't get their star upgrades, leading to those fights finally being at their designed difficulty.
Further memory optimization to help with low-memory devices.
Fixed a bug with sharecodes and items. Contraption items will no longer duplicate.
Improved Underlord textures.
Fixed an issue with Underlord face morphs on low-memory devices.
Improved reward popup queuing.
Improved clock synchronization between client and server during rounds.
Added a system whereby live game balance to units, alliances, etc. will not affect the balance of existing City Crawl Streetfights and puzzles.

Dota Underlords Season One
WELCOME TO SEASON ONE
[previewyoutube="m9MqIzmWG24;full"] Dota Underlords is coming out of Early Access, and today officially marks the beginning of Season One. With this launch, we've added a ton of content to explore, rewards to earn, a hero / Alliance / item shakeup and more.
City Crawl
Mama Eeb’s death has left a power vacuum in White Spire. Take back the city neighborhood by neighborhood, Underlord by Underlord, in the new City Crawl campaign.
Win quick street-fights and complete in-game challenges to unlock Underlord rewards like new outfits and poster art. Complete puzzles and lord over your friends on the Puzzle Leaderboard.
Reap the Rewards with the Battle Pass
Season One comes with a full Battle Pass offering over 100 rewards. Play matches and complete challenges to level up your Battle Pass and earn rewards like new boards, map props, wanted poster art, and more.
Many rewards can be earned for free, but for full access to all City Crawl content and all 100 rewards on the Battle Pass, players can purchase the Battle Pass for $4.99. The paid Battle Pass is not required to play the game, nor does it provide any gameplay advantage.
Hero / Alliance / Item changes
It's the beginning of a new season, which means that it's time for a roster change. In addition to Heroes, both Alliances and Items are changing. Scrappies and Inventors are leaving, while we're introducing the new Summoner, Vigilant, and Void Alliances. We're also introducing a new type of item that adds an Alliance affiliation to the hero that you equip - Hats. We love hats. For a full breakdown of everything that's changing gameplay-wise, see the full notes below.
Returning Players
If you participated in the Beta Season of Dota Underlords, welcome back. We can't thank you all enough for playing the game, providing feedback, and helping us to make Underlords better. We have a few gifts for you coming into the new season - a Golden Ricky Statue, a poster title, and both of the Season 0 maps. This and more about what's changing in the switch from Beta is detailed in last week's post.
It has been an amazing Beta Season, and we can't wait to get in the game with you all. See you in White Spire!
