Super Animal Royale' Kicks Off Super Summer Royale Event

by Rainier on June 29, 2021 @ 10:59 a.m. PDT

Super Animal Royale is a top-down multiplayer survival shooter for up to sixty-four adorably murderous Super Animals.

Engineered to charm and trained to kill, Super Animals are cute enough to make you go “Aww” and deadly enough to make you go “Ahhhh!”

Select your favorite from a menu of foxes, pandas, kitty cats, and other bloodthirsty beasts. Parachute into the ruins of an ill-fated safari park and fight off a lethal barrage of bullets, explosives, and silly dancing. Whether fox, tiger or sloth, every animal has a chance once they have a gun in their paws. Explore exotic biomes, stalk your prey through the shadows, and run and gun your way to the top of the food chain.

Enjoy carefully balanced run and gun gameplay combined with an intuitive fog of war system that restricts a player’s view to line of sight, allowing for sneaky, strategic play.

Explore a beautiful 2D world, inspired by classic top-down adventure games. Cut tall grass and loot abandoned structures in search of the guns, explosives and health juice you’ll need to reach the top of the food chain.

The top down view and streamlined mechanics make the game uniquely accessible and fun, but it’s no easy task to be the final survivor on an island filled with 64 wild and insane animals. The island and roster of genetically modified animals are constantly expanding and changing with updates, and each animal can be customized with different outfits, tombstones, death explosions, weapons and more.

Take off your fur coats because Modus Games and Pixile Studios announced Super Animal Royale is headed to the beach. The game’s Super Summer Royale event has begun, packed with new content for fans to enjoy.

You’ll now find fruit baskets scattered across the island that can be redeemed in the Summer Event Shop for 8 new limited-edition summer cosmetic items and 17 legacy summer items. Survive longer to earn more fruit baskets at the end of the match and be sure to start hunting early, to grab as many as you can before the event ends July 20th!

On top of being spendable for cosmetic items, Fruit Baskets are healthy and nutritious and will reward you with 20hp when you eat them (and yes Giant Emus can snack on them too). The Delivery Mole also has 3 baskets per crate as one more reason to fight over its valuable loot.

8 new 2021 summer items:

  • Beach Sunglasses
  • Blue Striped Umbrella
  • Blue Beach Hat
  • Starfish Visor
  • Message in a Bottle
  • Sandcastle Gravestone
  • Beach Party Sarong
  • Beach Party Outfit

We’ve also brought back the summer-themed music at the Welcome Center fountain and added two brand new Super Animal breeds to the Research Lab in time for summer:

  • Super Avocado Sloth
  • Super Dragonfruit Wolf

These additions expand the roster of fruit-themed animals that began with last year’s Super Watermelon Skunk and Super Pineapple Hedgehog.

And lastly, but arguably most important of all: you’ll now find beach balls along the southern shorelines that you can and should kick. Just try not to get…you know…killed while you’re playing beach soccer.

More v0.98 Updates

  • For Xbox players, we’ve added controller button bindings so that you can now customize your controls exactly how you like them! In addition, we’ve added the follower both versions:
  • The main menu news box now automatically rotates through news items.
  • News box items that link to something externally in your browser now have an icon to indicate this (news box items that don’t have this icon, like seasonal events, open within the game client).
  • Premium items (DLC, S.A.W. Shop, Animal Pass) now have special item backgrounds to help differentiate them in your inventory.
  • The Animal Pass now has an estimated date for the next season (late-August)!
  • Updated the Point emote on PC to have a directional arrow for where you’re pointing (like the one in its icon). The Xbox version will get this addition as well in its following update.
  • Added an idle animation for beach clams.
  • Pressing [Escape] now closes the inventory screen if it’s open (previously it opened the Paws Menu).
  • Fixed an inventory bug where controllers wouldn’t scroll through armor and powerups in the proper order.
  • Fixed an issue where AFK players that were auto-dropped from the eagle were stuck in the ocean until landing.
  • Translation fixes.

Key Features:

  • Survival of the Fittest: Scavenge a variety of powerful weapons, armor and items to become the apex predator in intense 64-player online matches.
  • The Superest World: Explore a massive, beautifully illustrated 2D island and discover its hidden lore, by chatting with its inhabitants and scouring its rich environments for clues.
