Another version of the game, Awesomenauts Assemble!, incorporating all the changes and additions available on Windows, OS X and Linux, was released for the PlayStation 4 in March 2014 and for the Xbox One in September 2016.

In May 2017, the PC version of the game transitioned to a free-to-play title, incorporating an in-game currency and reward system to allow players to gain access to new characters and other customization aspects.

Awesomenauts is a multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) incorporating elements from 2D platformer and fighting games.

The game starts both teams at level 1, and experience is collectively earned through killing enemy drones or Awesomenauts or taking out turrets.

Awesomenauts was announced for Xbox Live Arcade and PlayStation Network on 19 May 2011 in a press release from publisher DTP Entertainment.

[7] The PlayStation 4 version, entitled Awesomenauts Assemble!, was released on 4 March 2014 following a delay to the console's launch window.

[citation needed] Music for the game was produced in partnership with award-winning Dutch recording studio SonicPicnic.

[2] In August 2013, Ronimo games started a Kickstarter campaign for additional content entitled Awesomenauts: Starstorm.

While Ronimo has not provided an official announcement about the closure of its studio or the state of the game, several developers have spoken out about the situation and have helped players continue playing Awesomenauts.

Jasper Koning, co-founder of Ronimo, posted on the Steam Discussion forum for the game on 18 September 2023, detailing how players can switch back to a previous version of Awesomenauts, before the Galactron matchmaking update, that relied on Steam's backend tools, Steamworks, for matchmaking and networking instead of Ronimo's central server.

[18] While this version of the game is several years behind in terms of content, it gives an outlet for players to continue playing while Koning and the remaining team work on finding a buyer for Awesomenauts and the rest of Ronimo's intellectual property.

GameSpot's Austin Light noted that Awesomenauts "serves as an excellent introduction to the genre for the uninitiated and is a fun spin on familiar tropes for MOBA veterans.

"[26] In his review, IGN's Mitch Dyer stated that the game "distills a complicated, largely PC-only genre down to its essence, and it does so mostly successfully.
