Seoul, Korea, June 19, 2025 - Following the surprise announcement in May that it would return to Steam after shutting down in 2023, Super People continues its comeback with a closed beta test that began June 18 22:00 UTC and runs for 8 days. The revamped Super People from developer Wonder People is evolving beyond a traditional battle royale, incorporating PvE elements into the game and adding hostile monsters to take down.
Hur Min, director of Super People, said, “I want to thank every single one of you who asked us to bring the game back. Your messages, passion, and belief in Super People meant the world to us. It made us ask ourselves: if we’re coming back, how do we come back better? We didn’t want to return with just a few tweaks. That wouldn’t be enough. You deserve something more exciting, surprising, and worth your time.”
Players will now encounter boss monsters on the battlefield in a brand new game mode for those looking for something a little different from Super People’s usual fare. Defeating these monsters will reward players with gold and gear as the developers look to further shake up the strategy and progression mechanics. This creates a "battlefield full of choices" where players must decide whether to focus on PvP engagements or risk fighting PvE threats for potentially greater rewards.
Another notable addition to Super People is the "Altar of Buffs." Players can capture this objective to gain temporary advantages, offering another avenue for turning the tide of battle in their favor.
The developers have been actively addressing and implementing user feedback to enhance the overall player experience. Notable changes in the revamped version include introducing a "jury system" specifically designed to combat cheating. They have also adjusted character and weapon balance based on player input and improved the onboarding process to help new players get into the action more smoothly.
Aiming to make the game more than just a typical battle royale by blending PvP and PvE combat, with added strategic layers like a buff altar and adjustments to supply drops, Super People is planning for an Early Access release as soon as possible after the Closed Beta period.
The 8-day Closed Beta Test for Super People is now underway on Steam. Applications are unlimited, and access will remain open for those who want to join via the Steam page for the duration of the test. Wonder People will share further details regarding new features and updates via the Super People Steam Community.
