tinyBuild and Fair Play Labs have announced that SpeedRunners 2: King of Speed is in development for Nintendo Switch.
More than 10 million players have sprinted and leapt their way through the original SpeedRunners, and now, the fast-paced multiplayer platformer returns with new challenges and the same high-stakes action that the experience has become known for.
The publisher has outlined the game’s key features, which include:
- Gotta Go Fast: SpeedRunners 2: King of Speed is a fast-paced competitive platformer and a sequel to one of the most beloved indie games of the 2010s. Pick a character of your choice from a vibrant cast of eccentric superheroes, both returning and new, and face off against your rivals in frenetic running races for up to 8 players per lobby, locally or online.
- Be The Last One Running: Your goal is to get ahead by any means necessary and cling to the first place as your opponents get consumed, one by one, by an ever-shrinking ring of fire. Prepare to run like your life depends on it, across multiple beautiful tracks set in a retrofuturistic world inspired by the superhero utopia of the 1960s.
- Fast And Furious: Knock rivals off-screen and eliminate the competition by using powerful pick-ups like missiles, traps, freezing rays, or a golden grappling hook that allows you to pull runners in front of you. Ruin friendships, break controllers, and make split-second decisions on your way to becoming the true King of Speed!
- Master Competitive Platforming: Learn the layout of expertly crafted maps and master the intuitive yet deep movement mechanics. Memorize the locations of booster pads, pick-ups, wall jumping sections, obstacles, blue ceilings that you can grapple to, and levers to open or close pathways. Run, jump, slide, and swing to victory!
- Run As You Are: SpeedRunners 2 is a competitive game that can be enjoyed casually but has a high skill ceiling, allowing you to hone your speedrunning prowess for hundreds of hours. Join a dedicated community to participate in tournaments, create custom challenges, and climb the leaderboards, or host a private lobby with your buddies for some laid-back PvP fun.
SpeedRunners 2: King of Speed will be released digitally on the Nintendo eShop for Nintendo Switch worldwide in 2026.
