Adventurers, we wanted to wrap up 2025 with something concrete you can actually play with, not just a “year in review” post.
So for our last update of the year, we’ve added 10 brand-new Hero Cards to Under Realm — each with new abilities, new angles, and new ways to outplay your opponent.
This is our small way of saying thank you to everyone who showed up for the game this year.
What This Update Includes
Here’s what’s in this “Final Gift of 2025” drop:
- 10 new Hero Cards added to the pool
- New abilities that push different playstyles (control, tempo, greedy scaling, etc.)
- More options for building around specific heroes and faction identities
We designed them to do a few things:
- Open up fresh archetypes
- Give more tools to players who enjoy reading the board and planning a few turns ahead
- Shake the meta a bit so familiar lines don’t always play out the same way
As always, we’ll be watching how they actually perform in live games and will tune where needed.
A Quick Look Back at 2025
Without turning this into a full retrospective, a lot happened this year:
- Alpha seasons, big balance passes, and system overhauls
- A growing community of players who test, theorycraft, stream, and send us long bug reports
The game has changed a lot since the first people tried it. Most of those changes came directly from your feedback and your matches; the things you broke, the combos you found, the turns you screenshotted and posted.
This hero drop is a “thank you” baked into the actual game.
What’s Next
After this update, we’re taking a short breather, then going back into:
- More hero and card design
- Polish and UX work
- Bigger milestones as we head into 2026
You’ll start seeing more about those in our devlogs and on X as we get closer to them.
See you in the Realm, and enjoy the new heroes to close out the year.
