Project Update: June 2026 Monthly Update

Hello Deep Delvers,

Wrapping up the month of June with our regular update.

For you this month, I've got the video of the Earthbane Cycle panel from 2026's Onyx Path Online Game Convention. The team checks in on current and future projects - including the next entry under the Earthbane Cycle umbrella.

In terms of project progress, there are no big changes this month. For those digital backers, you're mostly waiting on the Underworld Adventures and Monster Cards, along with some of the regular milestone markers. Underworld Adventures is in the Art Notes phase of art direction, waiting for artists schedules to open up and contracts to be written. The others are mostly waiting for a clear moment in the schedule to get hammered out.

Those of us hardcover backers are eagerly awaiting any word of a timeline to get those books produced and delivered. I can tell you that Onyx Path switched to a new printer at the end of last year and so far they've tested out the process with one deluxe hardcover book and one standard hardcover book, and they're lining up a multi-format project next. When that's all locked and loaded, they should have a pretty good understanding of the process for each kind of project and will hopefully be able to get more detailed with their print plans. But that's all for discussion at much higher levels than me. Hopefully they'll share a road map or plans to catch up on their delayed print queue before too long. I'll pass along any info I find out.

In the meantime, you can learn more about the current and future plans for The World Below from Onyx Path's recent Online Gaming Convention!

Pending Projects

A lot of complicated manufacturing and production pieces to lock down, and some artwork to get going on a stretch goal. Dots will get filled in, but I think we're gonna have to be patient for a bit.
