tinyBuild and Fair Play Labs have confirmed that SpeedRunners 2: King of Speed will arrive in July on PS5, Xbox Series, Switch, and PC via Steam. This sequel to the acclaimed 2013 title maintains competitive races for up to eight players, both online and in split-screen. The core mechanic remains the same: run, jump, and use the grappling hook to avoid falling off-screen and being eliminated.
Improved netcode and high-definition graphics 🎮
The studio has worked on a revamped netcode that promises more stable online matches, reducing latency in eight-player showdowns. The graphics have been redesigned in high definition, with maps crafted with precision to avoid dead zones. Additionally, it includes a cast of eccentric superheroes with unique abilities, power-ups like missiles and freezing rays, and options to customize challenges or set up tournaments hassle-free.
Now you can also freeze your friend with a ray ❄️
Because it wasn't enough to lose due to a bad jump, now you can blame the missile your roommate launched at you. SpeedRunners 2 adds power-ups so that friendship lasts exactly as long as it takes to charge a freezing ray. If you survive all eight players on screen, you might also survive the match afterwards. Perfect for blaming someone else instead of your own lack of reflexes.
