Underworld 2 is on the way!
Phew, what a pleasure to finally share the news: we have officially started working on Underworld 2 (code name). And not the way we did it for the past few months, a flimsy side project with almost non existent resources (sorry folks). We are really pulling out all the stops this time!
For those who just joined us here: Underworld is our firstborn and the game famous for being packed with innovative stuff. For starters, back in 2008 it was the first
With innovation all over the place, you can probably imagine how long it took us to balance the game, what a buttload of mistakes we did on the road and how much we’ve learned from that. Finally, we got an opportunity to
One of the things that worked really well in development of the first game was that constant stream of support and feedback we received from the community. We intend to keep it on to gather your ideas and thoughts on the bigger, funnier and even more addictive second version! We promise to keep you posted on the progress as often as possible. Stay tuned for further details and spread the word!

Finally! it’s a pleasure to have news from you! this will be a new application or an update? and the big question, how long will the underworld 2 get out?

goupil, yes it’s going to be a new application, because the amount of new stuff we’re putting there is definitely enough to say it’s a second version of the game.
What comes to the release date, we’ve just finished a pre-production phase and went into deep planning. As soon as we figure out the date, we’ll let everybody know!
April 11th, 2012 at 2:30 pm
This sounds very exciting. Can’t wait for the new game to be released. Hope the first version won’t be taken offline though. #underworld
April 11th, 2012 at 2:40 pm
Can’t wait…my suggestion, i am not not much for in app purchases…but would have paid for the game after I played a bit…maybe ad free version…or free up to a certain level…still trying to get old and new game merged if anyone can help get my old account on new phone
April 11th, 2012 at 3:20 pm
I can’t wait to try the 2nd Version but I hope you guys don’t plan on taking the current version offline after the new version gets released unless there’s a way to tranfer our progress…
April 11th, 2012 at 3:35 pm
Scooter, The Purge: As of now, we are planning to transfer old accounts to a new game with some starting boost as a thanks to our loyal fans
April 11th, 2012 at 3:55 pm
Sweet , I thought y’all forgot about everyone!
So will we be able to keep our leaderboard scores?
Cuz I’m way up there and don’t wanna restart!
Please please please please please
April 11th, 2012 at 4:08 pm
I think an even playing field fresh start…. But a bonus would be nice.
i was talking about merging currently…switched phones…tried to email someone no response…got over half a billion saved in other game.
Back on topic, a toggle between drug theme and candy would be nice. Love the game, but often turning my screen away around people I don’t know or don’t want to explain it to.
It is great to know something is in the works!
April 11th, 2012 at 4:17 pm
Joe k, we cannot promise you’ll get the same rank in the UW2 that you had before - it’s just not fair to new players =) We think of this as of a bonus for the old timers, you know.
April 11th, 2012 at 4:18 pm
Scooter, thanks for suggestions
And btw, you can contact us at regarding your account transfer.
April 11th, 2012 at 4:28 pm
Is there any plan for a patch to fix the numerous bugs in the current game? For those of us that don’t particularly want to abandon everything we’ve worked for…
April 11th, 2012 at 4:47 pm
Thanks for the update, Andrey! Looking forward to it!
April 11th, 2012 at 6:37 pm
Yaaay Andrey!! Great news, thanks for the heads up, please let us know when it’s out, to start from scratch and unable to carry over status from previous app, is sad but it’ll be a new challenge to reach to the top once again! I’m pretty sure it’ll be awesome!! Alohaz
April 11th, 2012 at 9:02 pm
Well what’s the point of transferring accts if our ranks don’t go with it? Not much incentive for longtime players… All our hard work down the drain… Also, the previous question is still unanswered (I believe)… Is the current Underworld going to be taken down? I’d rather start a new, separate, acct on UW2 than to lose all progress in UW1… ???
April 11th, 2012 at 9:04 pm
Btw: loyal since beta!
April 11th, 2012 at 9:09 pm
awesome can’t wait for the update..
i really hope its not like the rest of the games out there when they update there games , if your not running the newest OS then your out of luck.
some of us Underworld fans don’t have a brand new iphone or ipad.
so hopefully its not higher then OS 4.2
thanks
April 11th, 2012 at 9:57 pm
Great to hear the good news of an update, hope the 1st 1 does not go offline, hope we can keep our accounts n not start over as we all have worked really hard to get where we r now. Keep up the good work
April 11th, 2012 at 11:19 pm
Can’t wait it feels like I have been playing this game forever I’m ready for the update thanks guys!
April 12th, 2012 at 1:34 am
Stoked!! Loyal since day 1! Keep up the great work!!
April 12th, 2012 at 1:45 am
That true what k-dizzle said what the point to come out with a part if we can’t tranf… Our hard work and our ranks
April 12th, 2012 at 1:45 am
Part 2
April 12th, 2012 at 2:20 am
Ya i agree, all that work just flushed down the toilet
April 12th, 2012 at 3:35 am
Cool underworld was fun, it was dope wars on crack. Will. E interesting what. We gameplay you’re gonna bring for a v2.
April 12th, 2012 at 1:49 pm
Yeah I’m happy new version is On its way BUT this version locations are unplayable because the location tab does not load. I’ve written to you several times and no response which to me makes me feel, especially on hearing this news, that loyal players who have been with you for years, really mean sweet f.a. to you because you are tied up with the production on the new game. And yes I’ve tried uninstalling etc. it only happened after ios5 Update.
April 12th, 2012 at 2:46 pm
glad to see there is a underworld two coming really excited to see it, are you takeing suggestions from the first games and the roasd map stuff
April 12th, 2012 at 3:46 pm
Hey fellas,
Regarding the current version of the game and whether it is going to be supported further or taken down. Honestly, we haven’t decided yet, but what we can promise is that we will do our best to make you WANT to switch anyway =)
Re:iOS firmware support. I think 4.2 has all we need, but I’ll check with the team of course =)
April 12th, 2012 at 3:49 pm
Lou, apologies for the inconvenience caused. For now we are fully focused on taking off with the new version, but we will try to find the time to fix critical bugs in the current version. Unfortunately, since the game was developed for the much earlier version of the iOS firmware, the amount of work to fix even minor issues is HUGE.
amy, not only we’re considering players’ suggestions and current roadmap, we are taking them to a whole new level! =)
April 12th, 2012 at 4:17 pm
It’s about time!!! I’m stoked about starting all over !!!
Now all of ya stay of my block!!!!
April 12th, 2012 at 9:04 pm
Cant wait for the game. Been playing since its release in cydia. I hope this time around Wars will be thought of, as well as suppliers , delivery, truces can be worked in. Really really cant wait.
April 12th, 2012 at 10:20 pm
Get on with it can’t handle the wait lol
Want to start now now lol just playin with ya but do hope it comes soon. N really do hope we can transfer accounts over some of us have been real loyal from the get go before it hit the app store.
April 13th, 2012 at 7:55 am
Why does there have to be a “decision” on wether or not UW1 will remain active? Does it really take up that much effort/upkeep? What about all the money we spent on your “revolutionary” in-app purchases? Do we get refunds if you take down UW1? I, along with many others, have spent our hard earned cash in order to climb the ranks and get to where we are, and funding a-steroids to go off and do other things. I believe the last update of any sort on the UW page was in 2010?!?! Very curious to see what you offer that will make me WANT to switch over….
April 13th, 2012 at 10:12 pm
I prefer the andrey’s idea, with a bonus for old players.
Why? K-Dizzle is not a fair player for example, he’s not happy because he’s first. But, remember Czeck, he had more 2 billion. Goupil has more 1,5 billion. Confused has 800 millions. And in 4 days, K-Dizzle was 5th and he becomes 1st! Whoua! So he earn more 1 billion in à week!
Do you know someone who can earn more 1billion in few days in this game? Without cheat!!!???
So i laugh when k-Dizzle speaks here, and i lose all of it.
New game, new level, new players and no cheats!!
April 14th, 2012 at 3:23 am
Lmao! Yes remit, you are all knowing!…. NOT! since when is it cheating to consolidate accounts? Anyways, doesn’t matter what rank I am, my questions would still have been asked! Laugh at that! 0_o
April 14th, 2012 at 3:19 pm
So all us poor folks still running iOS 3 are screwed. Damn, I was looking forward to it. Not now.
April 15th, 2012 at 7:37 am
Ahahah I agree with Remit’s point of view.. ;). Sorry K-Dizzle don’t think we’re jealouso
April 15th, 2012 at 8:44 am
What about the android version? Will it be coming out at the same time or will it be a long wait?
Perhaps a bonus for original users would be a way to make levels faster.
Or a bonus to keep the police away.
Or even getting products to sell at lower levels
April 15th, 2012 at 9:37 am
let them cry… it will be a new game! new chances for all!
April 16th, 2012 at 1:18 pm
Aleph: the second version will be launched on both Android and iOS, with 100% same feature set.
It is even possible that Android version will be launched first, with iOS coming 1-2 weeks later.
April 16th, 2012 at 1:21 pm
Beelsabub, I’m afraid yes, iOS 3.x is really complicated to support these days, especially in a game with lots of online activity, maps and location-detection.
April 16th, 2012 at 1:31 pm
Everybody else: thanks for the discussion!
Transferring the existing players into the new game is a really serious question that needs a lot of thinking and we definitely need your suggestions on that. The only reason I don’t want to go into further details now is that I and the rest of the team have to concentrate on the production and planning =) And we will get back to the transfer issues later.
April 17th, 2012 at 8:16 am
@ChrisBreezy: huh? jealous?
@Andrey: Thanks for addressing everyone else’s issues but mine!
My real concern is more towards the fate of UW1… I’m not worried about UW2. I’ll play both, and kick ass in both as well!
But I like my current competition in UW1 and would like to keep playing! Chezk may not be on the COTC anymore, but he’s still active! He re-upgraded to lvl 1, so I know he’s up to something! Could’ve sworn that him and confused were one and the same. If he combines accts he’ll surely surpass me! Temporarily… 
April 17th, 2012 at 2:28 pm
I agree with K-Dizzle, I’m not the highest ranked player but I am top in my state and 11th in my country and I worked hard to get where I am and spent my hard earned REAL cash to help me get there. I didn’t jump ship the second a cooler game came along and had I known my money was not going towards furthering the current app but developing a new one, I wouldn’t have paid a cent.
Imagine if Apple did that? You invest in a new IPhone and then later find out you’ve got no tech support, it’s full of bugs but it’s ok because the NEW iPhone will be out soon.
April 17th, 2012 at 5:21 pm
Hats off to Em! Couldn’t have said it better! Obviously… lol +1
April 17th, 2012 at 5:23 pm
Ha! I made a comment just before Em but it’s awaiting moderation… I think bcuz I used the word a$$… lol
April 17th, 2012 at 6:38 pm
Hey K-Dizzle, thought I addressed everybody’s concerns re:UW1, including yours =)
The fact is, Underworld is quite complicated at the server side: no matter how many players are online, the world’s economics has to run non-stop. So it requires lots of servers and maintenance.
Nevertheless, I really hope we’ll be able to run both games at the same time. I don’t want to promise that right away before I’m sure, but I really believe we can pull it off.
April 21st, 2012 at 9:10 am
Very political answer, but an answer none the less. Thanks Andrey.
April 27th, 2012 at 12:46 pm
Hey Andrey it’s been three weeks since they said undeworld 2 is coming out. About how many more do we need to wait before it comes out
May 1st, 2012 at 8:53 pm
Hey P.Escobar and everybody! Sorry for the silence. Just got back from a business trip: hectic times
Let me handle a few things and post an update on our progress!
May 3rd, 2012 at 3:15 am
Andrey I’m still waiting for a update on the progress on underworld 2
May 7th, 2012 at 7:30 pm
Sorry folks - we’re not hiding, we’re working our asses off! =) Stay tuned, I know I will post an update as soon as possible!

Just saying hi to all. I 2 have been around since beta. I liv the game and have started over from level 1 at least 3 times. STIMULOUS
July 3rd, 2012 at 8:08 am
You know what else would be nice….a way to stop cheating. People jumping all over the globe with gps sims…or whatever they are….I understand there are glitches in gps’s that can cause this.I have momentarily jumped to the middle east. But too much jumping around should merit penalties. Listen to me…talking about playing fair on a game based on drug dealing.
July 5th, 2012 at 11:48 pm
I am in the cream of the crop and I am tired of the game makers and all they’re BS. Only updates for I phone never android and there is NO support Wtf get it together. I have made the cream of the crop 3 times now because I am never able to transfer profiles from one phone to another because I never get support or reply to my emails. Much longer and I will stop playing this game and stop putting money into it.
July 6th, 2012 at 6:30 am
LizardLicN, I have just checked twice, personally. Both Inbox and Spam folder. When have you sent it?
August 11th, 2012 at 1:22 pm
Hey!
Huge fan love the game on my android! Almost at the top in my country(Belgium).
I would only like some clarity about when version 2 is released for android or a good update.
Would like to hear from you guys, did a great job don’t give up know!
