Battle Royale game Super People, similar to PUBG with superpowers, resurfaces for a June closed beta test in 2023, despite closing down previously.
Super People, the battle royale game featuring superpowers, has announced its return following its shutdown in 2023. Developed by Korean studio Wonder People, the game is gearing up for a closed beta test in June.
First introduced in 2021, Super People quickly gained recognition for its grounded gameplay and MOBA-inspired leveling system that rewards aggressive action. After an appearance at the PC Gaming Show in 2022 and a final beta scheduled for August, the game entered early access in October. In December 2022, it was renamed Super People 2, only to shut down in May 2023, with intentions to close on August 21, 2023.
However, on May 2, 2025, a new Super People listing appeared on Steam, signaling a comeback. In a message from game director Hur Min, the team expressed their commitment to recreating the game's best moments, maintaining a sense of progression, and improving accessibility for newcomers.
The upcoming iteration of Super People aims to address issues such as cheating, character and weapon balance, and sudden loss frustration, as well as increasing accessibility for new players. The first glimpse of this work will be revealed in the upcoming closed beta test set to begin on June 18, 2025, running until June 26. The developers plan to eventually release Super People out of early access on Steam, though no specific timeline has been set.
Players interested in participating in the closed beta test are encouraged to visit the game's Steam page and click the "Join the Super People playtest" button. While no guarantees are given, interested players are advised that they will not gain access if they do not try.
As the new version of Super People moves towards a full release, widespread anticipation within the gaming community suggests that the developers aim to rekindle enthusiasm around the game, potentially through ongoing updates, events, or expansions. Stay tuned for more information on the upcoming beta test and other plans for Super People.
