Surprise! Sybo Games has quietly released a new Subway Surfers title, Subway Surfers City, on iOS and Android! This soft-launch release boasts improved graphics and many features from the original game's long lifespan. Currently available in select regions, it's a sequel that aims to revitalize the iconic running game.
Subway Surfers City, a direct successor to the 2012 original, addresses the aging engine and limitations of the original. It features returning characters, beloved hoverboards, and a visual overhaul.
The soft launch is underway in several countries: iOS users in the UK, Canada, Denmark, Indonesia, Netherlands, and the Philippines can download it. Android users can find it in Denmark and the Philippines.
A Bold Move
Sybo's decision to create a sequel to their flagship game is a significant risk. However, the move is understandable, given the limitations of the original game's engine. The stealth release is a curious strategy, especially for a globally popular franchise.
The reception of Subway Surfers City will be crucial. We eagerly await its wider release and hope it meets player expectations. In the meantime, explore our top five mobile games of the week or check out our list of the best mobile games of 2024!
