Super People was a battle royale game developed by South Korean studio Wonder People, and published by Wonder Games.[2][3][4] Directed by Seong Gon Park, the debut title gained popularity on Steam, with 4.3 million players participating in its closed beta test in February 2022.[5][6][7] A final closed beta test for the game concluded on August 30, 2022, before the game finally launched in Early Access on October 8, 2022.[8] The game experienced a rebranding to Super People 2. The name change took place on December 12, and is done so because the dev feels that changing the name reflects “the huge and sweeping changes that will improve the core game elements and systems”.[9] However, on May 23, 2023 the developer announced on steam that they are planning to terminate the live service in August, citing the dwindling number of users, despite "balance patches" and "efforts for changes consistently".[10] As of August 21, 2023 the Early Access has been discontinued and the live service was terminated.[11]
