"Subway Surfers" Is Getting a Sequel in February

Popular 2012 mobile game “Subway Surfers” has announced a sequel game, “Subway Surfers City.”

Debuting globally on February 26, “Subway Surfers City” mixes the original 2012 game’s train-track chase with an upgraded art style, new gameplay mechanics and modes, and an expansive unseen environment.

Created by SYBO, the same mobile game studio as its predecessor, “Subway Surfers City” brings players into the heart of the animated universe, Subway City. 

The fictional metropolis will feature four distinct districts for players to unlock and race through, including “The Docks, Southline, Sunrise Blvd, and Delorean Park.”

As of 2025, “Subway Surfers” has racked up over 4.5 billion lifetime downloads and over 30 million engaged followers across various social media platforms in its nearly 15-year run.

Per the developers, “Subway Surfers City” will introduce fresh content each season, including additional neighborhoods of the city, characters, outfits, and hoverboards.

It will also include new gameplay mechanics, including speed pads to boost progress, a stomp move to uncover hidden advantages, and a bouncy shield to improve jump abilities, among others.

Additionally, the sequel will offer players the ability to play the game in three different modes: Classic Endless (the popular fast-paced runner experience where players chase high scores and discover new paths), City Tour (a new finite mode where players progress through levels with distinct goals, exploring districts to find hidden stars and complete missions), and Events (a rotation of finite runs and trials designed to challenge players).

“Subway Surfers City” will be free to download on iOS, Android, and Google Play with in-app purchases.

Pre-registration for the game opens Wednesday.

“At its core, ‘Subway Surfers City’ is the next chapter of Subway Surfers’ nearly 15-year-long legacy,” SYBO CEO Mathias Gredal Nørvig said. “’Subway Surfers’ continues to experience remarkable success year after year, and we’re thrilled to now provide players with an entirely new way to interact with the IP. ‘Subway Surfers City’ stars reimagined fan-favorite characters, while simultaneously introducing never-before-seen content and mechanics. It’s a balance of the classic game our players know and love, with a fresh vibrancy that brings the crew’s universe to life in a whole new way.”
