Subway Surfers City: Soft Launch on iOS & Android

Sybo have stealth-dropped the new Subway Surfers City game to iOS and Android
The game promises better graphics and many of the features added over the original's lifespan
You can grab it now in selected regions while it's in soft launch!

Well, it's a Friday, and you know what that means. No, not new episodes of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, but a new game from Sybo! The Subway Surfers developer has stealth-dropped a new game into soft launch for both iOS and Android. And although we haven't had the chance to get hands-on with it, here's what we've seen on the app stores.
Subway Surfers City, as it's called, looks to simply be a sequel to the original Subway Surfers. The original game has developed a huge amount since it was first released in 2012, but it is showing its age. So the fact that Subway Surfers City comes with multiple characters from the original game, new additions like the hoverboards and of course, revamped graphics.
Subway Surfers City is currently in soft launch on iOS for the UK, Canada, Denmark, Indonesia, Netherlands, and the Philippines. Meanwhile, on Android, it's currently available in Denmark and the Philippines.

A new city?
The decision to create a sequel to their most successful game is a risky endeavor for Sybo. But it's understandable; after all, the Unity engine is showing its age, and restricts their creative possibilities. However, a stealth launch is a shrewd approach, particularly given this is one of the world's most popular mobile game franchises!

Still, we're eager to see player reception to Subway Surfers City, and its release date for all players. Here's hoping it meets expectations.

And if you can't access it, don't worry; you can always try some of the games we've chosen as the top five to play this week while you wait.
