Sybo Games has quietly released a new Subway Surfers title, Subway Surfers City, on iOS and Android. This soft launch, currently available in select regions, promises enhanced 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 boasts familiar characters, updated features like hoverboards, 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 Unity engine is showing its age, limiting development possibilities. The stealth launch is a surprising approach, particularly given Subway Surfers' global popularity.
The reception to Subway Surfers City will be closely watched. We eagerly await its wider release and hope it meets expectations. In the meantime, explore our top five mobile games of the week or browse our comprehensive list of the best mobile games of 2024.
