Sybo Games has quietly released a new Subway Surfers title, Subway Surfers City, on iOS and Android. This soft launch, currently limited to select regions, boasts improved graphics and many features added to the original game over the years.
The game appears to be a direct sequel, addressing the aging aspects of the original 2012 release. Subway Surfers City features returning characters, updated hoverboard mechanics, and significantly enhanced visuals.
Currently, the iOS soft launch includes the UK, Canada, Denmark, Indonesia, Netherlands, and the Philippines. Android users in Denmark and the Philippines can also access the game.
A Bold Move?
Creating a sequel to their flagship title is a significant risk for Sybo. However, the decision is understandable given the limitations of the original game's Unity engine. The stealth launch approach is intriguing, especially considering Subway Surfers' global popularity.
The reception to Subway Surfers City will be closely watched. We eagerly anticipate its wider release and hope it meets expectations.
