Supermarket Chaos Developer Targets Multiplayer Beta in August–September
A game built entirely around single-player is being restructured from the ground up to support co-op — and the studio is candid about what that costs.
Developer BunnyHop has outlined the next phase of Supermarket Chaos in a community post published July 5, 2026, centering on two additions: multiplayer and a new experimental mode.
What changed (or is planned)
- Multiplayer is the primary development goal. Because the game was originally built around single-player, the team says implementing it requires redesigning a significant part of the game's structure from the ground up.
- A first multiplayer beta test is targeted for sometime between August and September. A stable multiplayer experience is aimed for within the current year.
- Player count is being planned with 2–4 players in mind first, though the studio notes this has not been finalized.
- A new mode is also in development alongside multiplayer — described as a small experimental mode intended for players who enjoy symmetrical play. It is being prioritized over new maps, which the team notes require substantially more production time.
- All updates mentioned are planned to be free.
- The team acknowledges that working on both projects simultaneously may cause the new mode's schedule to slip.
The studio's transparency about the structural challenge — and the explicit caveat that player counts and timelines remain unfinalized — suggests these are directional commitments rather than locked deliverables. Players should expect updates, but with patience built into the arrangement.
