A Chinese mobile game based on Super Animal Royale will discontinue: a bittersweet announcement as they hit their first birthday Friday (May 13).
The game, in China’s most popular gaming format – on mobile (手游) – will stop updating soon.
According to Feihu (肥狐), a well-known personality of Super Animal Royale China, the COVID-19 pandemic worsened operational problems. Income dropped and staff are being laid off.
However, the mobile game’s server will still be online – the game won’t be updated. As of May 20, it still can be downloaded.
Emotions flew strongly among furries and non-furries alike – the top-down shooter game is very popular among Chinese furries.
The game in China is jointly operated by gaming companies Pixile Studios and iDreamSky.
The Chinese mobile game for Super Animal Royale is called 小动物之星 (literal: Little Animal Star).
Both the global version (Steam) and the mobile version (China) are based on the same game, but are independent of each other.
China players mostly use the mobile version’s name to refer to both game platforms. Global players call the mobile game version “Super Animal Royale Chinese edition”.
The Chinese game version uses the same English name as the global version.
To distinguish both editions in English, we will address the Chinese mobile game as “Super Animal Royale China”. Our Chinese language report will reflect this.
