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. You can keep working on passes you already own on your second track, or pick u
