We're heads down building out a whole host of new features and a new point of interest (you’re gonna like this one, rebels) for the next major update, so this week we’re only adding new Super Animals. We think the wait will be more than worth it, and we'll be revealing more very soon on Twitter, Facebook and Discord!

Set your calendars for two weeks, Super Animals: the next major update lands Friday, August 30th. See you all on the island!

The Super Summer Royale event has ended and the Super Beavers are done cleaning up the last of the fruit baskets, but they left some dessert! Super Gummy Bears join the fight in Berry, Lime, Orange and Cherry “flavors.”


It’s also the final 48hrs to submit your superest and blooperest clips to our YouTube highlights show, SAR Tonight! Submit your best 1080p+, 30fps+, this Dropbox link Tuesday, August 13th at 11:59pm PDT for a chance to be featured in Episode 5 and win some exclusive SAR Tonight items.




You can catch up on previous SAR Tonight episodes in our YouTube playlist below. We recommend starting with episode 3 (it’s where the storytelling really deepens) but you can also click back to episode 1 if you want to be a SAR Tonight completionist:

• DNA Magnets have now been capped at 99 (whether active or inactive). Existing players with more than 99 will keep all of the magnets they’ve earned beyond 99 until they are used up.

The time has finally come to officially debut Squads as a permanent mode alongside Solo and Duos modes! And to all you crazy Super Animals in Discord who have been requesting the ability to Squid up since Monday, we’ve heard you loud and clear and have implemented the most important feature of all: squid hats. Just enter the code “SquidUp” into the coupon code field in the main menu to earn the ability to squid up with your super friends. You’re welcome.


The SAR community has been growing quickly in all 3 regions, but to help the transition from 2 to 3 modes as seamlessly as possible we’ve also upgraded the bots significantly for duos and squads mode. They’ll now roam in teams of two and four respectively and work together to hunt you down (it’s a bit horrifying, but never fear, their difficulty still scales up depending on your level, so they’ll be easier if you’re new to the game).

We’ve also added the highly requested “fill / no fill” option for duos and squads modes so you can choose if you want to be matched up with additional teammates or not when playing with less than a full team.


It’s the final week of the Super Summer Royale event (the event ends on August 9th)! Don’t forget that the fruit baskets you find are shared amongst your team, so hunting for them with your duos and squads teammates works especially well.

We’ll be opening up clip submissions next week for Super Animal Royale Tonight Episode 5, so start collecting your superest and blooperest clips, and look for the link on our Discord, Twitter and Subreddit (r/animalroyale) soon. And if you haven’t seen them, you can check out the series above! Each episode continues the story so they’re best watched in sequence, but the storytelling picks up the most in episode 3, so that’s also a good place to start.


We’ve added a bunch of additional quality of life improvements in addition to the main updates. Here’s your full patch notes for v0.88.7:

Super Summer is in full swing and fruit baskets have started appearing all around the island! Eat them to recover health (they have the nutritional value of 4 coconuts) and collect them to unlock limited edition summer cosmetics until August 9th!

In addition to the Super Summer Royale event we’ve also packed this update full of new features and improvements across the board. Some highlights include:


We’ve revamped the way items drop at the end-game so that every game your chance of earning an item goes up (based on the amount of time you survive) until you eventually earn a new item! The new system is a lot clearer than the old one, is balanced to reward you with items more often, and now features your favourite Delivery Mole to do the honours of serving you your rewards. We’re also starting you off with a 50% chance to earn an item in your first game so that you’ll likely get your first item quick!


You can now see the Giant Eagle and its flight path on the map!


We’ve added 3 new Skunk Bomb milestones (where you can earn the Skunk Bomb Tee, Nose Clip, and Skunk Hat) as well as one additional secret milestone. No spoilers! Secret Milestones now also display an in-game alert when triggered so you can see what you've earned.


Squads mode replaces Duos mode from Friday, July 19th to Monday, July 22nd so you and 3 friends can team up to reach the Top of the Food Chain! We’ve been testing some alternative 4-player modes internally, and other ways to run these Squads Weekends as the game continues to grow, so let us know what you'd like to see most in our feedback channel in Discord and the future Squads Weekends could see some changes very soon!

• A new system for earning cosmetics is debuting! Survival time still contributes to the chance of getting a cosmetic, but the chance of earning a new item will now will carry over between games if nothing was granted. You’ll see your chances build each game, and the delivery mole will deliver you your item if he has one for you!
  
• Skunk Bomb now has milestones for damage dealt, with 3 cosmetic rewards: Skunk Bomb Tee, Nose Clip, and Skunk Hat. Another secret milestone is also available.

Hope you all have lots of fun in the Super Sun! We'll see you on the island, Super Animals.

In Super Animal Royale Tonight Episode 4, you might have noticed Donk and Howl running through a new region of the island, and as of today’s update you can now play in the caves of Superite Mountain!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pDhRO0imRkw&list=PLSsDwH8E5MUK7YGiMUEMIj5wFCB9kBx7K&index=5

Superite Mountain and its cave system is one of our biggest map updates yet, filled with backstory to discover and narrow passageways to fight in! And it’s not the only part of the map that has changed. We’ve also overhauled the rest of the island to include more loot in less dense areas, and special story-related additions that we’ll let you discover on your own. You might just meet a familiar NPC!


It’s only fitting that alongside the caves, Super Bats are joining the fight as our second level 30 breed in the Research Lab! And although the prisoner from SAR Tonight 4 claims he’s not a rat, you can now fight for the top of the food chain as a Super Rat or Mouse, available to create in the lab at level 10.

We also have plans to refine the Research Lab soon in a future update, so level 30 base animals will unlock quicker once that update is complete. In the meantime it'll be an extra significant achievement to be one of the first few who earns the Super Bat!


The handling of hamsterballs has been refined and improved! Hamsterballs now bounce off walls and environmental objects, so now rather than coming to a standstill you'll be able to bounce on your merry way! You can now parachute longer and further than before to reach points of interest further away from the Giant Eagle's flight path.


Shhh: a new, quieter roll has been added while holding CTRL. The Super Stealth Roll can be activated by rolling while you’re sneaking, allowing you to move quickly into cover while keeping things stealthy. Your roll may be quieter, but you’ll still make some sound and attentive Super Ears will be able to hear it if they’re paying attention.


You can gather up your packs for our Squads test weekend from Friday, June 28th to Monday, July 1st! We’ll be disabling Duos in the meantime, but it’ll return on Tuesday.

----------
