- Roadmap & Super Elephants! - 15 January 2026
Hey Super Animals! Thank you for an incredible Super Animal World launch, and for all the feedback so far. It’s been a huge help as we plan what’s next, and it helped guide a lot of what we prioritized in the roadmap below. We've also got a bit more context on what we’re focusing on first and why. Also: despite their size, we managed to sneak Super Elephants into the Research Lab this week. More on that later, but first let’s jump straight into what’s coming next to the island. What’s Next for SAR v2.0 was a massive lift for the team. It reshaped the game loop around the Social Hub, added story quests, and introduced new activities like fishing, bug catching, and hamsterball racing. Shipping all of that at once was a huge effort, but we didn’t want you waiting until 2026 to get your paws on it, so the team pushed hard to ship it by the end of the year. The goal was to get a strong found…

And as with all event breeds, it’s a permanent addition, so you can unlock it at your own pace, even after the CRISPRmas festivities conclude. 5 challen…
