Sybo's Stealthy New Subway Dive
Surprise! Sybo Games has quietly released a new Subway Surfers game – Subway Surfers City – for iOS and Android devices in select regions. This soft launch offers a glimpse at a sequel boasting improved graphics and many features refined over the original's long lifespan.
The game appears to be a direct successor to the original Subway Surfers, addressing the aging visuals of the 2012 classic. Subway Surfers City incorporates beloved characters from the original, along with newer additions like hoverboards, and showcases a visual overhaul.
Currently, the iOS soft launch includes the UK, Canada, Denmark, Indonesia, Netherlands, and the Philippines. Android users in Denmark and the Philippines can also join the early access.
A Bold Move: Sybo's decision to create a sequel to its flagship title is a significant gamble. However, the limitations of the aging Unity engine likely spurred this development. The stealth launch is a surprising strategy, given Subway Surfers' global popularity.
The reception to Subway Surfers City will be key, and we eagerly await its wider release. Fingers crossed it meets expectations!
