v1.0 Update

08.22.2023

The moment you’ve all been waiting for has arrived – Version 1.0 is here! This update marks the end of Early Access and the official full release of Superior: Vengeance.

We’ve packed a lot into this update, including a new playable character, new boss, new powers, our first Battlebook, enhanced audio, full localization in six languages, and more!

Here’s what’s new:


New Character: Renegade

Meet Renegade, Superior: Vengeance’s second Bruiser! Like Ronin, Renegade relies heavily on getting up close and fortifying his armor. Unlike Ronin, Renegade sports an affinity for shotguns and getting under people’s skin. Utilize Renegade’s unique Taunt skills to keep high damage targets off of your allies and control the flow of the fight!

New Feature: Battlebook 1

Introducing the Battlebook – an all new way to unlock new cosmetics, snacks, and characters! Battlebook items are unlocked via Battlebook Credits – a new in-game currency which is earned 1:1 with XP. Whether you’re at the Max Level or still on the climb, you’ll continue to rack up Battlebook Credits as long as you have items left to unlock in your Battlebook. 

New Boss Fight: Smash & Dash

Smash and Dash are a pair of muscle bound brothers infected by the Xeno parasite who are ready to give you a serious workout! Their routine includes dodging high velocity barb wire, avoiding extra sharp cutlery, and generally running for your life! Fight Smash and Dash on Beta Earth. 

New Powers: Duos

10 New Duo Superpowers are now available to unlock via the Hero Hit List! These powers utilize the strengths of two different power families and will only show up when a player has invested in both of them. Duos are unlocked by facing Smash and Dash. Learn more about Duos here.
