Subway Surfers City Celebrates Stealth Release on iOS and Android

Sybo Games has quietly released a new title, Subway Surfers City, onto iOS and Android devices in a select number of regions. This soft launch offers players a sneak peek at the game, boasting improved graphics and many features accumulated over the original Subway Surfers' long lifespan.

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 for Sybo

Creating a sequel to their flagship title is a calculated risk for Sybo. The decision is understandable, given the limitations of the aging Unity engine used in the original. The stealth launch, however, is a surprising approach for such a globally popular mobile franchise.

The reception to Subway Surfers City will be crucial, and players eagerly await its wider release. We're hopeful it will meet expectations.
