Unreleased Features

This article lists all **unreleased features**; features that have at some point been leaked by the Developers of Mope.io, but have not yet been added to the game. While **upcoming features** are still a work-in-progress for future updates, all **scrapped features** have been abandoned and will never be added in-game.

## Upcoming

Any feature that is upcoming has been verified by a developer, or designer, to be in the works for future updates. Certain upcoming features have been teased at one point, but not actually released until years later.

### Animals

#### Forest Monster

*Main article: Forest Monster*

The **Forest Monster** is an upcoming Forest animal that is tier 16, equivalent to the Land Monster, Dino Monster, Giant Scorpion, Sea Monster and Ice Monster that was confirmed by KOA. It upgrades from tier 15 at 5M XP and upgrades to Black Dragon at 10M XP. Its design is yet to be shown but it had a few scrapped designs. Not much is known about it other than the fact that it is a Forest animal. Its release date is unknown.

#### Bullet Ant

*Main article: Bullet Ant*

The **Bullet Ant** is a Desert animal that was only released once in Beta servers circa April 2019. The Bullet Ant has a completely black body, with a sharp stinger on the end of its body. It has four legs - two pairs facing the front and a single pair facing its back. Two large antennae branch off from its head, and the Ant's eyes are bared and angry. The Bullet Ant was presumed to be a low-tier animal, as ants are not that powerful, but was proven to be a AI when KoA stated that they would attack in groups and drag players to their anthill to eat them in September 2023.

#### Dolphin

*Main article: Dolphin*

The **Dolphin** is an upcoming Ocean animal that might be at tier 12 or tier 13. Not much is known about it but it was confirmed by KOA and other members of the YouTube community. It had many designs but it was voted that its design E, made by Mako, would be the final skin. It has a round abdomen with the main color of Yale blue. It has a tiny blowhole above its round, dark eyes and flippers clamped close to its body. The Dolphin may have the ability to create pods with other dolphins that last up to 30 seconds, capable of throwing prey to each other. The owner may be able to steer the other dolphins in the pod. Pods would have a 5 minute cooldown. It was said be released after the Forest chain is finished in June/July 2022, although neither have happened yet.

#### Evil Spirit

KOA expressed interest in adding an animal above or at King Dragon for the "*Season 2*" update on the Official Mope.io Discord and in the Mope.io Subreddit, later named Evil Spirit. It lacks an official design: A contest was held on the subreddit for fan ideas and abilities with no mentioned winner. Evil Spirit is purposely stated to not look like a dragon, and may have scales, bones, and feathers. It will have at most 3 abilities. As of February 1, 2022, the "*Season 2*" update, the Evil Spirit has not been included in the game.

#### Toxic Moleworm

*Main article: Mole#Toxic Moleworm*
The **Toxic Moleworm** is a variant of the Mole that was teased on KOA's YouTube channel. It has a similar appearance to the Mole, except for its magneta-colored body. The video in which the Toxic Moleworm was displayed revealed very little about its capabilities in contrast to the Mole; all that was revealed is that it is also a tier 3 Land-spawning animal with the "Dig" ability. The planned release date for the Toxic Moleworm is unknown.

#### Sparrow

The Sparrow is a bird of an unknown tier confirmed to be in the Sky biome in March 2022. It was originally said to be tier 1 but in September 2023 was said that it was "supposed to be" mouse tier It will probably be able to Fly.

#### Megalodon

The Megalodon is an animal confirmed to be in the deep Ocean biome in June 2022 after being asked by a user on Discord. Nothing else is known about it except for its existence.

#### Deathworm

The Deathworm is a slithering worm thought to be scrapped. It was mentioned to be in the game eventually by KoA after being asked on Discord in November 2022. From the only known image of the Deathworm, it is unusually long, multi-segmented and largely yellow animal. It has two pairs of bared eyes and large mandibles. No other attributes are known.

#### Caracal

King of Agario confirmed the Caracal would be added as a Forest animal after the holidays on December 22, 2022. It already has a planned idea.

#### Bigfoot family

A Bigfoot family was mentioned as an option in a September 2023 poll asking what the community wanted to be added. It apparently has artwork made by ex-artist Syed. The second member was said to have 2 abilities which can be bought in the shop and the animal will be able to be bought from the shop as well. The abilities and skins were made in mid 2020.

KoA stated that he wanted to finish Didu the Duckling's lore to introduce the family.

#### Jackass family

Jackass's family is a part of Didu the Duckling's lore videos. It was mentioned to be introduced alongside the Bigfoot family after Didu's lore was finished. Jackaxx in particular was said to possibly be its own animal with its own ability rather than a skin.

#### Terror Squid

A Terror Squid animal was briefly mentioned by KoA in response to the demonic sort of style an art by Shaun exhibited.

### Biomes

#### Full Forest Chain

The Forest chain consisted of the Kakapo, Raven, Turkey, and White Giraffe (as a Rare animal) for a couple years. KOA stated that this was incomplete in the Changelog. The chain was said be completed in June or July 2022. The Tarsier, Chukar, Flying Lizard, and Swinehoe were added on December 20, 2022, with plans to add more after the Bird Monster is released. It was listed as a poll option for what the next update should be in September 2023 with a "nearly complete animal roster" with a few additions pending and art made.

#### New Map

A contest was held on Reddit for a new map design. In September 2023, a new expansive map with over 15 biomes, more food types, and more gameplay mechanics was an option on a poll by KoA asking what the community wanted and quickly became the most popular vote by a landslide. KoA later posted a map idea based on one of the winning maps from the Reddit contest containing several new biomes each with their own unique food. This map will replace the random map per server system.

The mountain and Arctic biomes are confirmed to have icebergs that can be ridden on like floaters.

KoA noted that the map could be made larger, but the distribution and amount of food would need to be limited.

#### Jurassic/Dinosaur World

Originally proposed by KOA in 2017 as the Jurassic World, it was renamed to Dinosaur World and confirmed to be a goal after Battle Royale and in-person 1v1 tournaments. Little is known about it, other than that it will probably introduce more dinosaurs into Mope.io based on its name.

#### Sky Biome

The sky biome was a biome concept proposed by several maps during the map contest. It was not discussed until KOA stated that the Chukar (then unreleased) and Sparrow would be part of it in March 2022. Only birds with the ability to fly (excluding Phoenix) would be able to fly into the sky biome, turning the ground below blue, and be capable of inflicting tail bites and sitting on clouds. Birds sitting on clouds would have a hotkey to go down. Certain animals would still be able to harm birds in the sky biome. The only terrain would be clouds and some flying food sources. The sky biome will not be "invisible."

KoA confirmed that the Bird Monster would be moved to be a Sky biome animal alongside all other (presumably flying) birds in the future.

#### Deep Ocean

The deep ocean was a biome concept proposed by several maps during the map contest as a sub-biome of the Ocean. It was confirmed to exist when KOA stated that the Megaladon would be part of the biome. KOA said in July 2023 that it would be released after the Bird Monster is released in August. On a poll in September 2023, it was an option for what the community wanted next, with new animals, finished art, and a new equivalent for the Black Dragon and King Dragon.

#### Underground

An underground biome has been proposed periodically by players throughout the years, often with a unique chain and tend involve some connection to hiding holes. KOA confirmed that it would be in the game after Bird Monster is released in August 2023. It was listed as a poll option in September 2023 when KoA asked the community what they wanted next and was confirmed to have new animals with completed art.

### Game Modes

#### Re-additions

KOA has stated that all removed game modes will be worked on after the July 12, 2022 update, including Team Mode, Wild Mope, Zombie Infection, Viral Pandemic, and finally, Battle Royale. Team Mode was re-introduced on August 29, and Wild Mope was re-added on March 7, 2023.

#### Battle Royale v2

An alternative version of Battle Royale was an option on a September 2023 poll asking the community what they wanted. This version appears to combine Battle Royale with Zombie Infection, pitting players against zombies. It was said to require extensive recoding however to function.

#### 1v1 Tournaments

It was stated in the past that KOA wanted to have official 1v1 tournaments, which sprouted 1v1 Redemption mode. Along with Battle Royale's addition, KOA aims to add a 1v1 Tournament mode. There was some progress towards this in December 11th 2022 when KOA streamed a 1v1 King Dragon tournament with a 50k mopecoin prize to the last person standing and a special role on the Mope.io Official Discord.

On April 5 2023, KOA asked on the Mope.io Official Discord if players would like to have 1v1 as its own gamemode. He followed up the question by revealing his thoughts about making one server exclusive to 1v1s. When asked if players would be able to choose any animal to 1v1, he stated that he "would come up with something".

A poll conducted in September 2023 asking the community what they wanted had an option of 1v1 tournament servers with a 100k coin prize. It apparently has a basic sketch laid out.

#### Ice Age

A list of game modes to be added to the game was displayed by KOA on July 12, 2022, and among one of them was Ice Age. No other details are known.

#### Pollution

One game mode on the list of game modes to be added is pollution. No other details are known.

### Other

#### Ant Hill

The **Ant Hill** is a possible terrain that will be added to mope.io that was discovered in the game files. It is a brown mound that gets darker closer to the center, and in the exact center, there is a hole. There are also bits of rubble in the hill, all of which are a dark brown. It is assumed that it will spawn in the Desert due to the file being contained in the Desert animals. Due to it being an Ant Hill, it is presumed to spawn Bullet Ants. Its release date is unknown.

#### Steam port

Numerous players have suggested the possibility of porting Mope.io to Steam for more players. When Sunfishy brought it up the Official Mope.io Discord in July 2023, KOA answered that it could be possible without much rewrite but would need to integrate Steam's SDK and comply with their workflow. He stated that it would be less cumbersome than making an Apple Store app for the game.

#### Season 3

*"Season 2"* was officially released in the February 1, 2022 changes. A *"Season 3"* has been implied in the works since. The only concrete information known is the creation of a Map UI, likely to create the new map.

## Scrapped

Unlike upcoming features, the following features have been leaked by devs or designers in the past but have since been confirmed as not being.

### Snake

The **Snake** is a scrapped Land animal that was supposed to be a tier 12 animal; equivalent to the Rhino, Eagle, Shark, Wolverine, Markhor, Bison. The Snake is a dark green animal with a long body that is twisting like a serpent. Two small fangs and a forked tongue can be seen at its face, and it has two small nostrils and black eyes. It also has 2 large eyes, with a single white eyeball inside. It was briefly teased by KOA on his YouTube channel, but never added to the game due to the lack of complexity and was replaced by the Boa Constrictor.

### Manta Ray

The **Manta Ray** is a scrapped Ocean animal. Its intended tier is unknown, though presumably it would have been a medium-tier animal. The abandoned design, which was added in the game files under the name `mantaray.png` had a black body with white-tipped triangular flaps, a thin long black tail and eyes identical to those of the Killer Whale's classic skin. Aside from its design, little else is known about the Manta Ray. Given the similar appearance it shares with the Stingray, the Stingray was probably its replacement.

### Coyote

The **Coyote** is a scrapped Desert animal that was created when planning for the Desert biome was in its earliest stages. The design, made by Pike, is quite similar to the classic skin of the Wolf. It consists of a light brown-gray body, a long snout, two large lighter ears above its eyes, and a long tail. Very little is known about what the Coyote's in-game functions would have been, though it could have been the Desert counterpart of the Wolf.

### Loch Ness Monster

The **Loch Ness Monster** is a scrapped animal, presumably intended for the Ocean biome. Judging from its appearance and name, the Loch Ness Monster would probably have been a high-tier animal on par with The Kraken or the Sea Monster. However, no solid information was ever revealed about it. The Loch Ness Monster has a dark grey body, with two darker fins on each side. It has a long stripe, the same color, running down its back that eventually becomes its tail. Little spots are decorated around the stripe.

### Poison Berry

The **Poison Berry** was a type of berry that was planned for Mope.io, but was scrapped. A purple and red variant were known to have existed. It is implied these food sources would have caused the consumer to experience poison upon eating them, and that the poison may have varied for the different types, though such speculations can only be assumed.

### Fossil

The **Fossil** was an unreleased feature that was leaked on Pike's DeviantArt page. Aside from its DeviantArt reveal, nothing else about the Fossil was ever revealed. Chances are it would have had the same or similar function to the carcass, and was probably replaced by it.

### Mutation Tier

**Mutation Tier** was mentioned once in the December 25, 2017 changelog entry. It was stated that the newly added King Crab would shift from Monster tier (the name for tier 15, or Apex tier at the time) to Mutation tier in the future (presumably a higher tier than Tier 15), but this change or tier were never included in the game. It is possible that Mutation tier was repurposed to become the modern Monster tier.

### Death Screen

The **Death Screen** was a feature that Clickstan stated was in the works in January 2017. Similarly to other games in the .io domain, the Death Screen likely would have shown the player's stats in-game such as their tier, kill- and XP-count. In 2018, there was a Death Screen briefly added to Beta, but was removed from it and has not been re-added since. Currently, upon dying, players will be taken back to the Home Screen, which some may consider to simultaneously be the Death Screen.

### Hurricane

The **Hurricane** is an unreleased Natural Disaster that was teased on KOA's old YouTube channel in September 2017. From the video that it was showcased in, the Hurricane was seen to be a large white obstruction that did not physically block animals, but stunned them and took up a majority of the player's FoV. The feature was never released, and most likely scrapped in favor of the Tornadoes.

### Kakapo's Bite

*See also: Kakapo*
The Kakapo was supposed to have the ability to bite as part of its Special Ability (which was originally called "Hop and Bite") according to the October 3, 2020 changelog entry. However, the feature was never added. Since then, no new information on the status of the Kakapo's bite has been released, and due to the ability having since been renamed to just "Hop", the concept was presumably abandoned.

### Breathing

Animals and food items used to "breathe" by expanding slightly in size, shrinking down to slightly under normal size, and repeating. This did not affect hitboxes and was purely a cosmetic effect. This was removed at an unknown date within 2022 and 2023 because according to KOA it caused lag and CPU time for low end devices. He stated that it could be re-added as an option.
