A game shouldn't disappear because the servers went dark.
SUPER PEOPLE, from Korean studio Wonder People, was battle royale with a twist: each round you rolled a superhuman class with its own powers. At launch in 2022 nearly 50,000 people played at once.
Then the player count dropped. The game shut down in 2023, came back in Early Access in 2025, and went offline for good on February 23, 2026. After that, nobody could play it at all, even people who had paid for it.
The official game never had community servers. Every match ran on the studio's own servers, so when they were switched off, the game went with them. All that was left was the game client, with nothing to connect to.
So a small group of volunteers is rebuilding the whole server backend from scratch, including login, the lobby and the game servers. They're also writing a new launcher and fixing the game's bugs, so anyone can keep playing. There's no company involved and nobody is making money from it.
The story so far
- Global launch on Steam. Peak of 47,392 concurrent players.
- Relaunched as SUPER PEOPLE 2, then shut down.
- Revived officially in Early Access.
- Taken offline for good and removed from Steam.
- The community rebuilds the backend: servers, launcher, fixes.
Drop in, in three steps
The launcher does the hard part. It downloads the game, points it at our servers and keeps itself up to date.
Get the launcher
Download the installer and run it. Windows may show a SmartScreen warning because the app is new. Click "More info", then "Run anyway".
Get your key
Join our Discord and type /authkey to the bot. Paste the key into the launcher once. It's stored encrypted on your PC.
Download & play
Pick a folder that already has the game, or let the launcher download it (27.7 GB, with pause and resume). Then press Play.
What we've fixed so far
Every item here was broken or missing when we started. We post updates as they land in the Discord.

Help us keep it alive
This is a volunteer project. Whether you share a link or send a pull request, it helps.
Spread the word
Most old players don't know the game is back. Post it in your group chat, on Reddit, or in a video. More players means better matches.
Write code
The launcher is open source (Rust, Tauri, React), and the client fixes are C++. There's backend work too. Reverse engineers and Unreal Engine people are especially welcome.
