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.
