'Super Animal Royale' Kicks Off First Double XP Weekend

by Rainier on July 29, 2021 @ 9:03 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.

Modus Games and developer Pixile Studios announced Super Animal Royale is getting its first double XP weekend beginning today, July 29th, at 6pm PT. Season 0.5 (S.A.R.’s second Early Access season) kicked off last month with the Beach Party Pass and now players can progress even faster through the Animal Pass with double XP earned today through August 1.

Additionally, the 32v32 S.A.W. VS REBELLION mode will be available on Xbox consoles starting today, previously only playable on Steam. Squads of up to four players can load into matches and are then sorted into one of two teams of 32. The goal of this mode is to either eliminate all enemies, or successfully hold 3 out of 4 of the flags around the island for a set amount of time. Once either of these objectives have been completed, the players on that team will win the match. The mode plays on themes from the game’s backstory in which the Super Animal World (S.A.W.) security forces fought to hold onto control of the park from a rebellion staged by a band of Super Animals.

In case double XP wasn’t already enough help for completing your Animal Pass, the new Animal Pass Archive system, arriving in the game’s next update, will allow players to continue making progress on past seasons they own. “The Archive” will allow players to complete prior season passes at their own pace. Current Animal Pass seasons will be available for 550 S.A.W. Tickets, and previous seasons will be available for 750 S.A.W. Tickets once moved into the archive. 

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.
  • Different Stripes for Different Fights: Collect hundreds of animal breeds and customize them with thousands of cosmetic items, weapons, outfits, and even umbrellas!
  • Evolving Events & Updates: Enjoy an endless stampede of new content, including seasonal outfits, animals, and weapons to collect.
  • The Fast and the Furriest: Flatten your foes while rolling dirty in a Hamster Ball, or mount a Giant Emu and peck your way to the promised land.

Currently available through Steam Early Access and Xbox Game Preview/Game Pass, Super Animal Royale is coming to Nintendo Switch, PS4, PS5, Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S in 2021.
