Super Adventure Box: Back to School is a release on September 3, 2013 for the first expansion of the Super Adventure Box, a special dungeon with pixelated graphics and a retro soundtrack harkening back to old school platformers. This release contains World 2, previously available only as a preview of the first zone. The expansion includes new Super weapon skins. The release also brings in ascended weapons, updates to legendary weapons, and changing the Magic Find mechanic to be account-wide. Like the first release, the Super Adventure Box was closed again on September 30th.
