For everyone else, here are the highlights of the Super Update:

[h3]New Quest - Revenge of Superbot[/h3]

A new quest awaits you: the Revenge of Superbot.

In the "Super Update", a couple of friendly robots you've already come across will have a new interaction available.

Helping those friendly bots will unlock a brand new class…




[h3]New Class - Superbot[/h3]

You will be able to play as Superbot, as soon as you complete the quest "Revenge of Superbot".

Superbot is a slightly different class, obviously and to start off he's very tiny. But he also can't equip weapons (instead he eats them)! He also has a bunch of mandatory gadgets that you can't disable when playing as him.

There are other unique traits but we'll let you discover them.




[h3]New Cinematic - Superbot[/h3]

With the addition of Superbot, you will be able to enjoy a brand new cutscene of him!



[h3]New Level - Harmony Square[/h3]

We added a new level using "Haven City" biome.

This level is a new alternative path for Act 3 (which was only straightforward before) and it allows us to hide a bunch of new stuff in there (Data-Logs mainly but not only).

In addition, it also gives more variety when replaying and opens up a new path for speedrunners.





[h3]New Weapon - Captain Mc Slice[/h3]

You may find a new unique weapon (unique as like the Fox Gun or the Shovel) in the game.

It is a giant living sword known as Captain Mc Slice.

It also happen to be part of Superbot's own arsenal.



That's it for the highlights of the Super Update.

Happy robot smashing Guardians!

This time around, the patch-notes is quite light as most of our changes are the additions you've already (probably) read through in our highlights section.

Here's the patch-note:






• Added a new quest to unlock Superbot
• Added a new cutscene available once you've completed the new quest
• Added 3 new data-logs
• Added 5 new achievements related to Superbot


• Added Superbot as a playable class

Developers' Notes: It will only be available once you completed the new quest.

• Added a new weapon called 'Captain Mc Slice', it is a powerful heavy blade that can be picked up at run start once you've discovered it in a certain level (pretty much like the Shovel)


• Added a new level called 'Harmony Square', it can be accessed through 'Haven City' under certain conditions
• Diversified the enemy pool in 'Aqua Station' in difficulty levels Guardian 2, 3 and 4
• Added a 'Goliath Slug' in the path from 'Aqua Station' to 'Fusion Core'


• Added a new quality of life settings called 'Infinite Music', this is unchecked by default and you may check it to make sure the music never turns off, even when you haven't fought enemies for a while
• Added the possibility to toggle Sprint Mode with a keyboard/mouse input when playing with hybrid controls


• The Transformer-Toy summon now properly appears for the other player when you pick it

Developers' Notes: This is the second time we're fixing this, but it is for real this time.

• Dropping a weapon in multiplayer no longer has a chance to make it disappear forever
• The final door in front of IRIS is now properly interactable by both players in all cases
• Spending a Crystal Powder in a level will no longer prompt the Crystal Powder end screen when completing it
• Fixed a texture streaming issue causing the 'Crystal Claimed' texture to display a white square when completing a corrupted level
• Credits will properly scroll to the end again
• Enemies have their proper texture when watching them in the Museum

Hello Guardians!

Superbot will be landing in all its botly revenge tomorrow around 3pm (GMT+1) (6th of June).

Welcome Guardians!

Like promised in our Superbot announcement, we're back for more news on the topic.

This is Devblog #15 aka the Super Devblog.



Today we'll be breaking down the additions coming into the Super Update.

Let's powerslide right in.

[h3]Okay but when?[/h3]

The Super Update will land somewhen early June.

We'll be giving you the accurate release date when we have it.




[h3]Roadmap Update[/h3]

We just updated our roadmap for 2024.



As you can see, in addition to the different plans we had before, we have a new update planned.

For now its codename is the "Cells" update and it will land somewhere in Autumn.

Obviously we can't share any details on the topic for now as we're focused on completing the Super Update.




That's it Guardians.

We hope you're as excited as we are about the Super Update!

As usual, we wish you the best robot-smashing experience and hope you can soon jump into the tiny steel shoes of Superbot.

Hello Guardians!

We've just released a hotfix for the Arsenal update, v1.2.1.

Here are the list of changes for this hotfix:
• Removed instances of situations where you'd spawn within the ground in the basecamp
• Fixed a crash occurring when the client player would unlock the Sunglasses and get back to the basecamp
• Fixed a crash occurring when the host player starts the game right after their brobot has joined
• Fixed a crash occurring when a brobot would join while the host is generating fury points in the practice range as the Commando
• The Gorilla Bolter can no longer roll the Buckshot affix twice
• Not finishing Doom Gardens before the timer expires will no longer result in a end-screen showcasing a Crystal Powder gain
• Deactivated the difficulty selection while searching for a quickplay
• You can no longer be stuck with the pause menu open when combining several inputs in a row with the gamepad
• Fixed a bug with the Yoyo item not properly working
• The Transformer-Toy summon now properly appears for the other player when you pick it
• Fixed a bug with the Mini-Cricket not shooting exactly on your crosshair
• Fixed an issue with the Mini-Cricket not shooting at the usual maximum range for all weapons (50m) - its fall-off range is still at 12m
• If you added a perfumed affix to your unique weapon (Handgun, The Shovel or Buddy Bot), Smithing Ted will no longer remove it when upgrading it to Fantastic in the Oasis

That's it for the hotfix, happy robot smashing everyone!
