Surprise! Sybo Games has quietly released a new Subway Surfers title for iOS and Android devices. Subway Surfers City, a sequel to the original, boasts improved graphics and many features introduced over the years. Currently in soft launch, it's available in select regions.
This Friday's surprise release from the creators of Subway Surfers isn't just another episode of JoJo; it's a brand-new game! While hands-on impressions are still pending, app store listings reveal a sequel focusing on enhanced visuals and gameplay.
Subway Surfers City incorporates familiar characters and iconic hoverboards, alongside updated graphics, addressing the original's aging engine. This strategic move by Sybo follows the immense success of the original, launched in 2012.
The soft launch rollout is currently limited: iOS users in the UK, Canada, Denmark, Indonesia, Netherlands, and the Philippines can access the game, while Android users in Denmark and the Philippines have early access.
A Bold New Setting?
Sybo's decision to create a sequel to their flagship title is a significant risk, yet understandable given the limitations of the original's Unity engine. The stealth launch is an intriguing approach, especially considering the game's global popularity.
The reception to Subway Surfers City remains to be seen, as does its full global release date. However, early expectations are high. In the meantime, explore our curated list of top mobile games for 2024 or check out our "Top Five Games to Try This Week" selection.
