Awesomenauts: Overdrive is a new expansion for Awesomenauts on Steam that will be released in early 2016 and includes the following features:

New Matchmaking We will introduce a completely new matchmaking system, running on our own servers, that is more stable and does a better job at pairing players of equal skill, and prioritizes connection quality. This will end up being more rewarding for our most veteran players, and be less daunting for new recruits! Whether you win or lose a match, everybody wins with this new system.

Premium Characters The time-travelling inventor Professor M. Yoolip, hyperbike-riding bounty hunter Chucho Krokk, and the [###] bot piloted by the twin babies Jimmy and Amy, are gearing up to join the Awesomenauts. These three Awesomenauts will be available in the premium Awesomenauts: Overdrive Expansion when it launches on Steam in March 2016.

Overhauled Game Mechanics Fight as a team, win as a team! The new XP and Leveling system was added to Awesomenauts in the 2.13 update. This system makes matches more dynamic, enabling both steady progression and more dramatic comebacks! The XP and Leveling system is one of the core mechanics in the game now and the first big step of many changes to come. We’ll continue to iterate on various game mechanics in the coming months.

Visual Update It was time for some of the ‘Nauts to join the thirty-sixth century, and Sheriff Lonestar is first in line! He has received a complete visual overhaul, and has had all of his animations and costumes redone. More content that has been with us since the launch of Awesomenauts receive visual updates over the next several months!
