With the announcement of Dota Underlords' official release date, Valve has uploaded a new blog post detailing what Season 1 will deliver and the launch party. The autobattler will launch on Steam in June and will close Early Access on February 25.

More details on the update can be found on the Dota Underlords blog via Steam. There will be a soft reset of Underlords ranks applicable to Standard, Duo, and Knockout ranks, with the exception of Lords of White Spire, which will be reset to Big Boss III. Players will retain their Standard rank and be set to Minor Rank 1.

Changes will also be made to the Autobattler board: 1.0 will have a new default board and five additional boards that players can unlock. Players who reach level 5 on the Free Proto Pass will have access to two beta season boards.

A number of new ways to customize loadouts and boards will be added, including board props and titles. Level 5 players will also receive a stylish Gold Ricky board prop as a bonus.

If you want to join in the 1.0 celebrations, join the launch party, which will be streamed live on Twitch and Steam TV on Dota Underlord's launch day at 10 a.m. Pacific Standard Time. Guests and players from the Underlord community will be participating in the stream. Expect some good fights.

With the release of Dota Underlords Season 1, the team will be working on season rotations, match replays, and battle passes.
