A Banananite meteorite has crash-landed on the island, kicking off a new storyline with fresh quests, new weapons and mechanics, and a bunch of community-requested improvements. Here’s the quick rundown before we dive into the full patch notes: ##### Highlights: - A **Banananite meteorite** has landed in Super Animal World, bringing new NPCs, storylines, and quests - **Banan Altars** have popped up in Animal Royale, where offerings of bananas and Giant Emus can reward you... or punish you - The new **X-Ray Cannon**, **Uzi**, and dual-wieldable **Dualzis** arrive, along with a new featured weapon rotation system to keep matches feeling fresh - **Hot Mode**, **Play Again**, **Auto-Accept Queue**, and a **Customize search bar** are just some of this update’s community-requested improvements - The all-new **Bright Future Pass** and **Bright Future Starter Pack** bring the season’s retro-future sci-fi theme to life - **Respawning Day** returns with three weeks of eggs, challenges, rewards, and the new **Super Cloud Skunk** - New **Super Gorilla**, **Super Chimpanzee**, and **“Alien” breeds** are now available in the Research Lab - Four new Super Animals are also available for a limited time through **Twitch Drops** - Lots more is packed in too, including the new Swampwater Breezeway Hamsterball Racing track, Banana Crabs, shop updates, and plenty of updates to gameplay, Social Hub and UI (plus a Makeship plush tease) If you’d rather watch the highlights, here’s our Developer Overview: Now, let’s dive into everything packed into the Bright Future Update. ##### A Meteorite Has Landed in Super Animal World! Northeast of SAW Labs, a huge meteorite has landed, and the island’s factions have very different ideas about what it means. The meteorite contains a strange, vibrant new material called **Banananite**. Thomas Sledison is eager to mine as much of it as he can for weapons development in his workshop, convinced it could lead to all kinds of wonderful, dangerous new inventions. The Cult of Banan, meanwhile, believes the Banananite meteorite is something much more sacred, and the yellow, softly-curved shape of its fragments does seem to suggest there may be something to their devotion. They’re not the only ones captivated by it. The **Super Simian Space Society** has sprung up in response, an earnest new space-enthusiast club founded by two Super Apes, **Ham** and **Enos**, who are convinced the meteor points toward a bright future for Super Animal-kind among the stars. Embark on new NPC storylines and quests by talking to Ham & Enos, Thomas Sledison, and the Deacon of Banan. Whether you’re helping a would-be space society win official recognition, testing Sledison’s latest experiments, or uncovering the mysteries of Banananite itself, there’s plenty to dig into. ##### A-peel to a Higher Power: Banan Altars Since the meteorite crashed down, mysterious **Banan Altars** have been reported popping up around the island. Built from fragments of sacred Banananite and awaiting tribute, they can be found during Animal Royale matches in solos, duos, and squads. According to some, offerings of bananas and even Giant Emus may reward the faithful, though worshippers should also beware of punishments. Large offerings can reward powerful weapons, and those gifts come with a twist: **bananafied** weapons that send slippery bananas flying mid-fight. Praise Banan, but worship at your own risk. ##### The Bright Future Pass Has Landed The **Bright Future Pass** celebrates the meteor’s arrival while bringing the update’s retro-future sci-fi theme to life, with the Mini Rhino, Moonwalk emote, and loads of cosmetics inspired by classic sci-fi. - During this season, the Bright Future Pass is available at a discounted price of **550 SAW Tickets**. - As always, Animal Passes never expire.

This has been the largest and most ambitious project our small team has taken on since SAR first launched in Early Access. After more than two years of work building an entirely new foundation for the game, we couldn’t be more excited to get it into your paws! So what does Super Animal World include, and what comes next for SAR as a whole? Let’s start with what Super Animal World actually is. ##### What is Super Animal World? Super Animal World is a reimagining of Super Animal Royale that turns the island into a relaxing space to make friends and enjoy cozy activities, all while you're queuing up to fight your new friends to the death. We call this new loop the **Circle of Super Life**. You explore the new Social Hub, chat with characters, accept quests, and then matchmake straight into Super Animal Royale or our other competitive modes. When you die (or do the winner dance), you respawn back in the Hub to regroup, claim rewards, and head out again for your next battle. The Social Hub was inspired by how wholesome and friendly this community has been over the years, and we wanted to create a larger space to support that. We’ve designed Super Animal World to make life between matches feel just as engaging as the battles themselves, with activities like fishing, bug catching, hamsterball racing, and more. In the sections below, we’ll walk through those new activities as well as BananOS, the new quest system, and everything else packed into the expansion. ##### Super Hamsters, Chinchillas, Emus To celebrate the launch of Super Animal World, a whole trio of new Super Animal species has arrived in the Research Lab: **Super Hamsters**, **Super Emus**, and **Super Chinchillas**, each with their own set of breeds to unlock. Super Hamsters can finally claim their hamsterballs, Super Emus get to join the royale as full combatants instead of just noble steeds, and Super Chinchillas are here by popular demand, ready for their chance to scurry to the top of the food chain. ##### Super Hamster Breeds (Available at Level 20) - Super Hamster - Super Blonde Hamster - Super White Hamster - Super Red Hamster ##### Super Emu Breeds (Available at Level 30) - Super Emu - Super Chonk Emu - Super Speedy Emu - Super Battle Emu ##### Super Chinchilla Breeds (Available at Level 50) - Super Chinchilla - Super White Chinchilla - Super Black Chinchilla ##### Grand Opening Pass To celebrate Super Animal World’s release, Ms. Macawsome’s got a new Animal Pass for you: **The Grand Opening Pass**! This one’s all about the newest activities on the island, so there’s bound to be something for everyone (as long as you like fishing, bug catching, or racing hamsterballs). We’re also really excited to debut the new Mini Emu pet in this pass! It may be too short to ride, but it makes emus the first species to exist as a complete set of Giant Animal, Super Animal, and Mini Animal. - During this season, the Grand Opening Pass is available for a discounted price of **550 SAW Tickets**. - As always, Animal Passes never expire, so you can continue working on passes you own from previous seasons on your second track, or purchase previous ones from The Archive for 750 SAW Tickets. ##### Grand Opening Starter Pack Feeling daring? The **Grand Opening Starter Pack** features a star-studded set of flashy daredevil cosmetics and the Super Stuntman Hamster! It’s the perfect look to rock while outspeeding the competition out on the raceways, just watch out for flights of stairs. Or don’t. https://store.steampowered.com/app/4115440/Super_Animal_World_Grand_Opening_Starter_Pack/ The Grand Opening Starter Pack includes: - Stuntman Aviators - Stuntman Outfit - Super Stuntman Hamster - 600 SAW Tickets (enough to pick up the new Animal Pass or put toward items in the SAW Shop!)

By popular request, today we’re dropping one more Animal Pass, inspired by community requests from over the years. The By Popular Request Pass is our way of saying thank you to all of you in our amazing community of more than twelve million players. And, because we’re now back to self-publishing and thus free to make dumb business decisions, we’re making it a proper thank you by making it completely **FREE to claim** until Super Animal World arrives. We’ve also made a few quality of life improvements to the game, added new Super Animal breeds, and are kicking off an end of summer celebration in our first self-published patch since returning to full independence, so check out the video below or read on for all the details. ##### Highlights - The **By Popular Request Pass** is packed with cosmetics inspired by the community, and is **FREE** to claim throughout Season 11! Highlights of this pass include the Idol, Plague Doctor, and Trashcan Outfits, as well as the super-cute (and spiky) Mini Bearded Dragon pet and the Shy emote. - The new **Super Animal World Supporter Pack DLC** includes 3 unique Super Animal breeds, 12 cosmetics, and 750 tickets, and is available for those who want to support the expansion’s development and get a taste of Super Animal World themed items early. - Catch some final sun rays before fall during the **Super End of Summer Royale** event. It runs for three weeks and kicks off today with challenges, rewards, and fruity new Super Animal breeds each week! - **Six additional new Super Animal breeds** have been released from the Labs, with designs inspired or suggested by community members, just like the Animal Pass! - We’ve also made **quality of life gameplay improvements** and patched some bugs to improve player experience, including some significant changes to how the Zip-and-Go works. - Don’t miss the first sneak peek of Super Animal World gameplay in the video above too! We’re really proud of how fishing, bug catching and hamsterball racing are shaping up and we can’t wait to share more about the expansion in the coming months. ##### New FREE By Popular Request Pass The SAR community is one of the most creative and passionate fanbases out there, so this season’s Animal Pass is a tribute to all the incredible designs and suggestions you’ve shared with us! This Animal Pass is completely **FREE to redeem** until the Super Animal World expansion arrives (aka during Season 11), as a thank you for all of your support and patience during the Super Animal World expansion’s ongoing development. Next season, it’ll move into the Animal Pass Archive, but if you claim it anytime between now and then, you’ll be able to re-activate it from the Archive later like any other pass! The pass includes some of our favorite cosmetic requests and ideas from you, as well as a few of our own to round out the pass (including a gravestone tribute to the retired Super Juicer blender). Some of the items were requested by many different players over the course of months and years, but others were directly inspired by art submitted in our (https://discord.gg/animalroyale).
