Today, game publisher tinyBuild announced SpeedRunners 2: King of Speed from developer Fair Play Labs. This sequel is expected to release on Steam later in 2025 with a console release on Xbox, PlayStation, and Switch coming in 2026.
This is a sequel to SpeedRunners, a fairly popular competitive platformer that released in 2016. Players will need to outrun, out jump, and outsmart rivals in both online and local races. SpeedRunners 2 will feature support for up to eight players.
Master your movement, conquer expertly crafted maps, use powerful pick-ups, and swing around with a grappling hook. Run like your life depends on it – just don't get knocked off-screen!
The original award-winning SpeedRunners, developed by DoubleDutch Games, was released in 2016. It has since grown into a party game hit with a thriving community and over 10 million players since launch. Dubbed the ‘Mario Kart of 2D platformers,’ it still has an active tournament scene going strong today.
“SpeedRunners was the game that kickstarted tinyBuild's publishing journey 12 years ago, and we are thrilled to breathe new life into this timeless franchise,” said Alex Nichiporchik, CEO of tinyBuild. “SpeedRunners 2: King of Speed will take everything to the next level while preserving what made the original so great and memorable. We’ve even brought in the incredibly talented team at DoubleDutch to consult on the game to make sure of it. A huge thank you to our incredible community for supporting the game over the years. Things will be moving fast from here. It’s time for a speedy run!”
