Fans of the long-running Subway Surfers series will soon have a new game to look forward to. A new title called Subway Surfers City is set to launch on February 26 for iOS and Android. Pre-registration for the game is already open on both platforms.
This new release acts as a follow-up to the original Subway Surfers, but instead of continuing the World Tour format, it brings players back to a single, central location called Subway City.
According to the developers, Subway Surfers City shifts the focus from travelling across different global locations to exploring one large, connected city. Subway City is described as a modern, multicultural space made up of multiple districts. At launch, players will be able to unlock and run through areas such as The Docks, Southline, Sunrise Blvd, and Delorean Park.
The idea is to gradually expand the city over time. Each new season is expected to add more neighbourhoods, along with new characters, outfits, and hoverboards. This seasonal structure suggests the game will continue to evolve rather than remain static after launch.
While the core running mechanics remain familiar, Subway Surfers City adds a few new moves and features. Players will come across speed pads during runs, use a stomp move, and make use of a bouncy shield that changes how obstacles are handled.
The game will also offer three different modes. There is a Classic Endless mode for players who want the traditional Subway Surfers experience. A City Tour mode introduces levels and missions tied to different parts of the city. There is also an Events mode, which rotates through limited-time runs and challenge-based trials.
The original Subway Surfers first launched in 2012 and has remained one of the most successful mobile games ever. According to developer SYBO, the franchise has crossed 4.5 billion downloads and continues to see around 100 to 150 million monthly active players.
SYBO has experimented with spin-offs before, including an Apple Arcade-exclusive title, but Subway Surfers City appears to be the most direct continuation of the main game so far. By keeping familiar mechanics while adding structure and progression, the new release looks aimed at both long-time players and newcomers.
