Last weekend we ran a Closed Beta test of the Awesomenauts 3.3: Rise of Galactron update. Only a handful of players were invited, and they tested out all the new features that will be made available in the next update. This test helped us prepare for the Open Beta that will start on July 20th, and we're already working on addressing some of the issues that came up.

To help you prepare for the Beta, and give you a little insight in all the cool new features you can expect in Awesomenauts 3.3, we'll be posting some updates in the coming week. You can look forward to reading updates on the following topics:

- The Rejoin feature, and the removal of the Late-Join feature - Read it now!
- Persistent Party system - More info here!
- Improved Matchmaking systems - Post is available!
- Custom Game Lobby improvements - Read it here!
- Punishment for leavers and the 'Safe to leave' feature
- Improved character select screen

We'll start with the first topic soon, so stay tuned! To get you hyped up a little, here's a shot of the new main menu in Awesomenauts 3.3!

Awesomenauts 3.2: The Green Guardian has just launched on Steam! Ix the Interloper, a character that has been designed and picked by the community, is now available! And best of all, it's completely free for everybody!

Ix the Interloper is our latest support 'Naut, and comes with the ability to bond with both allies and enemies. Once bonded, Ix can switch position with his target, allowing him to swap allies to safety and enemies away from their chosen location! Be careful though, because Ix is quite fragile and is easily taken out when hit by stuns or slows. His escape is a skill called Refract, which renders Ix invulnerable for a very brief period of time while being able to move freely in every direction.

Update 3.2: The Green Guardian also contains a brand-new skin for Scoop, called Bravely Scoop IV: Eternal Fantasy, and a futuristic skin for Ix, called Steel Seraph Ix!

Ix the Interloper is releasing later today, and there's one more thing to reveal: the skin! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=An7PzoL4vK8
As angels are usually peaceful and quite focused on their herbal infusions, the Heavens did little more than weep as soulless robots and demonic mercenaries slowly spread across the galaxy. However, one of these angels could no longer stand idly by and decided that the time had come to intervene in the realm of mortals.

Turning the weapons of the robotic overlords against themselves, this angel became an armored being of high-tech destruction. Now this fusion-powered, nano-enhanced, tungsten-plated angel is feared across the galaxy. In their frightened whispers its adversaries call this mysterious being 'the Steel Seraph'.

Having made landfall on Luxor, the Steel Seraph strikes fear in the hearts of all droids, robots, and demonic influences in the region of space dominated by the ones and zeros. Its first destination? The Awesomenauts!

Ix the Interloper will release this Wednesday, July 6th, in Update 3.2: The Green Guardian. And best of all, this community-designed 'Naut will be completely free!

For his character theme, we worked together with the talented MrMacke, who has been doing acapella covers of the 'Naut themes for a long time. We felt it was time he got to do his own theme though, so he and Sonic Picnic collaborated on his theme and killing spree track. The time has come to reveal the latter!

A hero's journey is filled with many great challenges. Like saving the townfolks from a mysterious invading army from another dimension, that's headed up by a hooded figure who's actually being manipulated by an otherworldly dragon who'll morph into a demon when close to being defeated. It's all in a day's work for Bravely Scoop in Bravely Scoop IV: Eternal Fantasy!

Check out the reveal trailer here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wlPk3YluxwY
Bravely Scoop IV: Eternal Fantasy is a Scoop skin that will launch in Awesomenauts 3.2: The Green Guardian, on Wedneday July 6th.
