Sybo Games has quietly released a new Subway Surfers title, Subway Surfers City, on iOS and Android. This soft launch brings enhanced graphics and many features accumulated throughout the original game's long lifespan.
The game, available in select regions, appears to be a direct sequel to the original Subway Surfers, addressing the aging aspects of the 2012 release. Expect familiar characters, updated hoverboard mechanics, and significantly improved visuals.
Currently, the iOS soft launch includes the UK, Canada, Denmark, Indonesia, Netherlands, and the Philippines. Android users can access it in Denmark and the Philippines.
A Bold Move?
Sybo's decision to create a sequel to their flagship title is a strategic gamble. The original game's engine, Unity, is showing its age, limiting potential. The stealth launch is a curious approach, especially considering Subway Surfers' global popularity.
The reception to Subway Surfers City will be crucial. We eagerly await its wider release and hope it meets expectations. In the meantime, explore our curated list of top mobile games for 2024, or check out our selection of five must-try games this week.
