Popular battle royale game, SUPER PEOPLE receives name change and more
Battle royale SUPER PEOPLE has undergone some massive changes to help better the player experience. Developer, Wonder People has announced the opening of SUPER PEOPLE 2, a name change that reflects the huge and sweeping changes that will improve the core game elements and systems. Two of the major changes coming to SUPER PEOPLE 2 include character growth and progression as well as an update to some of the “beginner unfriendly” systems in the game. In terms of character growth and progression, the previous max level of 27 has been reduced by more than half to level 12 and all characters start at level 3. A unique class system has also been simplified to three skills and one ultimate per class. Ultimate skills also power with character leveling. To help players jumping into the game for the first time, equipment crafting and class-specialized weapons have been removed completely. Starting with three ready-to-use skills allows for a quicker buildup and fast, early game battles. This change allows players to focus solely on the battle and survival. SUPER PEOPLE 2 also features different available game modes. Solo, duo and squad modes have been reduced to solos and trios. Duos and squads may return at a later date as the game eventually attracts more players to the game. If you were already a fan of this battle royale, would you continue to play after these updates? SUPER PEOPLE 2 is available for free on Steam. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oZP_teRalzc

Plus, look forward to the release of Pyra and Mythra in 2023! pic.twitter.com/6HEuGR07Nv — Nintendo of America (@NintendoAmerica) December 15, 2022 Sephiroth joined Super Smash Bros. Ultimate on December 22, 2020 and 2 years later the fighter will finally receive an Amiibo figure along with Kazuya who joined the game on June 29, 2021. The most anticipated Amiibo right now has to be Sora who was the last DLC fighter for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate and there has been no word on when it would release. It wouldn’t be surprising to see a Sora Amiibo come out until 2024 at this rate. There has been no word on any pre-orders going live yet nor a price point.
