Empires of the Undergrowth's News Recap!
[hr][/hr]The team is working hard on new content for Empires of the Undergrowth. Plans are nearly finalized, and development has already begun, although details are not being shared just yet.
Theyre also continuing their big creature remastering push. The American bullfrog is getting a complete overhaul (models, textures, animations), and the emperor scorpion has been rebuilt from scratch. The whip spider keeps her model but gets new materials and animations. Other creatures, such as the juvenile eastern newt, spiny devil, and checkered beetle, are also receiving animation updates.
On the UI side, two developers are elbows-deep in controller support work. The game already runs on Steam Deck and gamepads, but theyre making changes to help things feel better and more comfortable to use.

[ 2025-07-01 19:22:43 CET ] [ Original post ] "Your queen has set up home beneath a rotting log. She is fat, and vulnerable. Her first brood will need to move quickly if the colony is to survive. Their priority now is to find food, and there is plenty around; but there are other hungry creatures in the undergrowth. The workers will need to be vigilant."Empires of the Undergrowth is an ant colony management game, in a fast-paced real-time strategy style. The player excavates their nest underground, constructing tunnels and chambers to store food and raise brood. On the surface, the ants claim territory, gather resources, overwhelm fearsome arachnids and clash with other colonies. Nest design, army size, composition and attack timing are key to securing victory.
- Carve out and construct your underground nest to suit your strategy
- Engage in fast-paced colony versus colony combat above ground
- Play as different ant species and explore their unique traits and weaknesses
- Encounter and overpower dangerous beetles, arachnids and other awesome arthropods
- Grow your pet formicarium over time by completing missions
