Darkest greetings, directors/cleaners/underlords! Quite an eccentric resume, there.We’re still up to our elbows in Kaiju guts, and the next War for the Overworld game remains in early pre-production, but when we realised it’s been a bit since we’ve had an update for you, we knew we couldn’t let a year go by without a little content update from us.We also realised that Masters of Albion, the upcoming god game from our Peter Molyneux-led pals at 22cans, was just about to release. We thought, “wow, what a coincidence! Maybe we can do something about both of these things at the same time.” More on

Darkest greetings Underlords, Entranced in their darkest worships your cultists study visions of a distant and unusual realm; one overrun with gargantuan monsters, brought low by overwhelming firepower and swiftly picked apart as if descended upon by so many carrion feeders. Delicious.We’re pleased to announce that Brightrock’s next game, in partnership with Mythwright, is finally revealed as the job simulation videogame Kaiju Cleanup, coming to Steam and other platforms at some point as yet undetermined. But what exactly is Kaiju Cleanup? And in what ways will its sinister binary magiks hack

Darkest greetings Underlords, Yesterday, your cultists brought word of an astounding new development in the War for the Overworld multiverse which, as many of you no doubt surmised, was a most ingenious and clever ruse in honour of a special day in which we get to make stupid jokes. Read all about it here! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4422470/454ccc560fba2b20aba2c9c20aee50d86d1522df.png Unfortunately the chatlog is not a work of parody, people actually talk like this to each other. Indeed there is no WFTO MMO, which would be a singularly foolhardy idea as a follow up to a popular cult dungeon management

Darkest Greetings Underlords, Emerging from our dormancy, we blink, raising our arthritic hands to block out the invading light carried by the gnarled imp that appears at our door. “Master”, it gurgles from its awful, malformed gullet, “the Underlords, they summons us!” The goblin-thing holds out a scabby hand. Clutched within a rotting roll of parchment, marked with an incomprehensible repeating message of “+1”, repeated again and again by different voices, overlapping in cacophonic disorder – perhaps in some sinister, evil ritual that causes a monkey paw to curl somewhere. Well, your demands

Darkest Greetings Underlord, Beyond the walls of the dungeon the aether continues to churn and new discoveries are stumbled upon by your most loyal cultists. Read on to discover the latest developments from across the Aether. New Worker Skin & Galacticare Release Date Recently, incursions from a previously undiscovered realm have been occurring all over Kairos — metal clad invaders, no larger than a Skarg, have breached the defenses of the dungeon. Fortunately they proved to be unbelievably inept fighters, waving their arms as if to greet our defenders with cheer. When the dust settled, the on

Darkest Greetings Underlord, We have a couple of short, almost businessy, announcements for you today, first a long requested service becoming available at last and second some updates regarding War for the Overworld’s regional pricing which may see the price of the game increase to parity with Steam’s recommendations in some regions. Geforce Now Availability As of this week and by popular request, War for the Overworld is finally available on Geforce Now!

Darkest Greetings Underlord, Far above the warmth of your dungeon, something stirs in its antipode; cold, unfeeling beings, drifting in the void, “tending”, and “tinkering”, and mopping up strange vomit, and driven overall by the benign intent to “make things better”. Sickening, really. A New Worker Skin is Coming? These feckless automatons have managed to reach our realm of Kairos through tears in the fabric of space. Fortunately, our creatures reacted appropriately to the intrusion of these machines, and have bashed every such intruder to death with hammers. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4422470/fab449

Darkest Greetings Underlords, After a long period of silence, we’d like to provide an update as to what we’ve been doing the past few years. This post is being crossposted from the new Galacticare development blog, where we also just posted a first look at our alien species, but future posts won’t appear on WFTO pages. If you’d like to receive further updates from us, please be sure to wishlist & follow Galacticare on Steam, join us on Discord, follow us on Twitter, and sign up to our newsletter. We hope you will join us on our journey to the stars, and although WFTO is very much in maintenanc
