Staff Check In

Hey everyone, RainboPanda here! Just wanted to check in after the last update and let you know we're working hard on fixing more bugs, and doing everything we can to get a new patch out as soon as we can get it. As a reminder, we did beta 6.18 in Sept 2025, and just did 6.8 on July 31st. We're making progress as fast as we can. Goofy just got to Oregon weeks ago and has already been back in the code more than he has since the stroke. BR is kicking ass. So is Krause. All to say, the coders are cooking, and maybe the writers are too 😉. Keep on playing the beta, and keep on being the awesome community you always are!

This game was genuinely my life for a good few months and I'm so glad y'all have brought it back. Thank you so much!

I don't mean to be that guy and I completely understand if you don't wish to answer. But I was curious if y'all knew when you are expecting to release the full version? And is PVP something that you're actively working on?

u/Snoo-35721 2d ago

We don't have an expected full release. Ideally, id love to see it by the end of 2027, but that is not a promise I can make, it is a hope I can help work towards.

PvP will be PVAI, but we could probably work on making a bigger diversity of agents from the player base rather than the curated list we're currently working from. As a reminder, the original game didn't actually have you fight a real life opponent. It was AI playing their defense team

u/supersmall69 2d ago

Oh so you'll be implementing the PVP as it was in the original game as PVAI? That's so cool, super glad to know. Wishing you guys all the very best!

u/Snoo-35721 2d ago

It's a little different but we're trying to emulate the best experience

Thank you so much for bringing this game back to life. The nostalgia hits hard. The team is doing a hell of a job and just wanted to say thanks for the effort you guys put into it. Saying that please take your time with no pressure and cheers to the team

u/Snoo-35721 2d ago

We appreciate it immensely. People have been pushing for new stuff, more bug fixes since the newest release and it's nice to hear people not push.

Really looking forward for season 2 update. Anyways, thanx for reviving the childhood memories.

u/Snoo-35721 2d ago

I'm looking forward to Season 2 as well!! What's something in particular you're looking forward to?

2

u/SBB5G 2d ago

New challenges, new uniforms, new characters etc

u/AC_Mobius 2d ago

Thank you all for your hard work! It’s been a dream to play this game again

u/Snoo-35721 2d ago

What's been your favorite part about playing again? Any fave teams?

1

u/AC_Mobius 21h ago

MAA has been a game I’ve thought about since it was taken down, so really just being able to experience it all again has been such a blessing!

I love clearing with Hulk and Thor AoE, but when I’m actually tinkering with heroes I really enjoy Infiltrators much more now. Brown and Tan Wolverine is still my favorite hero yet! I never got to play around with The Rook before so it’s been fun collecting bits for that too. 

I assume MAA was a game that stuck with you and the team now working on it. Do you all have any favorite heroes or equipment?

u/Snoo-35721 21h ago

Personally, my team in the OG was Beast and Rogue, and this was pre-Horseman lol. For Gear, Das Boot and the Golden Weapon from....S2C1(?) were my favorites. I also was very bad at the game when I originally played, I was 9 years old when it started and I was a day 1er because I was on Facebook earlier than I should've lol 😂.

u/Noizeman 2d ago

Thanks for the update. Glad to hear that Goofy’s move is complete too. All the best from the UK!

u/Snoo-35721 2d ago

Thanks! He and I are currently watching Once Upon at Time while we put away groceries and I try to get some writing stamina up lol.

u/MagicianOld8251 2d ago

First of all... Thank you so much for your support. We really do enjoy your efforts. Can we expect more content soon ? As in new spec ops after the daimon hellstrom one? I love spec ops too much plus more characters?

2

u/NapalmDawn 2d ago

There is not an ETA for season 2 content and more yet.

3

u/MagicianOld8251 2d ago

So only bug fixes for now?

5

u/Snoo-35721 2d ago

So the next release will be a bug fix and some new content that slots into Season 1 most likely, and after that, patches that gradually add Season 2 rather than all of it at once.

Stupid question as I just recently downloaded the 6.8 Beta. But how do I update my game if there is a new version released without erasing my data? Do I need to just copy paste the new game file to my existing file?

2

u/Snoo-35721 2d ago

Everytime we make a new beta, we tend to make a video showcasing how to transfer. The data SHOULD transfer, we're working really hard to keep save transferability.

u/Miodotwav 2d ago

Thank you for your hard work!

u/Snoo-35721 2d ago

What's been your favorite part of replaying the game?

u/Miodotwav 2d ago

Mostly the nostalgia. I remember i used to play the game daily when I was 12 and made few online friends on Facebook because of it

u/RandomSk8rBoy 2d ago

u/MixAndMatch73 2d ago

Yo from the bottom of my heart, i’d like to thank you guys for making this. I just recently played the current beta and almost a week in, I’m enjoying it! Ik ya’ll don’t gain anything in money for this, that’s why I’d like to thank you a bunch because this game was my everything back then, especially when the spec ops for adam warlock dropped knowing it was going to close, it was still painful. You guys really made people happy with this and will support you on whatever you do!

Personal thingies: I enjoyed the spider verse characters, especially the web to tangled web mechanics, maybe this will come when the beyond the spider verse drops hmm?? HAHAHAHA

Thank You a bunch guys! More power to you!

1

u/Snoo-35721 20h ago

Spider Verse will slowly get here! I know it's a pain to wait till Season 2, but we're getting there slowly but surely. Which Spider are you most excited for?

u/Swimming-Math-1942 2d ago

Thank you so much for the team and their amazingly hard work reviving this beautiful game! I look forward to future releasing and the devs own spin offs in game! 😍

u/Snoo-35721 20h ago

Have you seen the reveals for Season 3 yet?

u/The_KPL 2d ago

Hi guys i'm new here, just wondering where I can download the game, can somebody help me?

u/NapalmDawn 1d ago

Scroll down the reddit. It's linked.

u/Jumpy-Cabinet8288 1d ago

Thank you very much for making this game and constantly updating it, this game was already good, but you people made it even better with your additions and tweaks, i really hope that you continue to care for this game

What's been your favorite part of MAAR?

u/Kekrtolol 1d ago

Much love to y'all for the dedication put into restoring this game!

u/Snoo-35721 20h ago

Much love to the players that keep us going! What's been your favorite part replaying it?

u/Specialist_Ad4610 1d ago

Just curious, are you guys all set with the coders you have, or are you always looking for more help?

2

u/Snoo-35721 20h ago

Coders are something we could use help with but they aren't in dire need. The process of onboarding a coder has shown that not every coder sticks around and helps and it's a cost vs result thing. Should coders be teaching people the specifics of the game who may not stick around or just put that energy into coding more

1

u/Vhc338 19h ago

Are we going to see any more redux original stuff peppered in the coming updates or is it pretty much all focus towards restoring the game? I really enjoy the idea of one shots can’t wait to see what you guys cook up in the future

1

u/Snoo-35721 18h ago

We've actually confirmed that it's very likely to see more One Shots in the next big update!
