We have exciting news: we are taking a big step towards reintroducing content and improving the playing experience in Awesomenauts.

Awesomenauts will be returning to its roots as a premium title. We have pushed the new, premium version to the **_Beta Branch _**(premium-beta) for community testing and introduced a purchase price of $19.99 for new players on Steam. The testing period is expected to last about a month, after which the premium build will be pushed to the Main Branch.

We have been able to add all of the content and character skins that were pulled offline back into the game, including the paid Starstorm and Overdrive expansions which are now included in the base game for all players. We are also working on a back-office moderation tool that will allow us to police negative behavior that users report. That tool will be released with the update later this month. Until then, we have disabled in-game chat.

We encourage you to play the version we have just loaded into the Beta Branch and give us feedback in the [Discord channel](https://discord.gg/WStkV3u6TG).
