Awesomenauts is a multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) video game developed by Dutch company Ronimo Games. The game was released for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 consoles in May 2012, and Windows in August 2012. It was ported to OS X and Linux. 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 Windows 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. In September 2019, Ronimo Games announced that development on the game had stopped indefinitely. Despite this, Awesomenauts was still available to play until the servers went offline on September 15, 2023 due to Ronimo's bankruptcy. In January 2025, the game was acquired by Atari and reverted officially to version 3.2.8, reintroducing matchmaking and announcing a plan to fully restore the game to previous functionality over time.
