You Probably Can't Pet The Dog In This New Battle Royale, But You Can Blow It Up

Okay, this probably should go without saying, but.. You know. Don't actually go around blowing up dogs. Or cats. Or any other critters. What did they ever do to you anyway?

Now that we have that out of the way, a new battle royale entered Early Access on Steam today. Super Animal Royale has apparently been hanging out on Steam since December 2018, but at a cost. As of today, developer Pixile and publisher Modus Games is making the game available for free -- beginning in Early Access. As the title suggests, the combatants in Super Animal Royale are animals, ranging from domesticated dogs and cats to farm animals and animals that are generally found in the wild. But this isn't just a zoo. All the animals are heavily armed.

The switch to F2P is part of a game update that makes several additions to the game -- such as the new 32v32 S.A.W vs Rebellion mode -- as well as implements an overhaul of the game's progression system. There's also a bit of DLC players can pick up, a founder's pack, a starter pack, and the Super Edition.
