Subway Surfers and Brawl Stars Launch Dual-Game Takeover Event
COPENHAGEN & HELSINKI – SYBO, the mobile games studio best known for creating the most downloaded mobile game of all time, Subway Surfers, and Supercell, the global games company behind Brawl Stars, Clash of Clans, Clash Royale, Hay Day, and more, today launched the first dual-game crossover event between Subway Surfers and Brawl Stars. Available within both games now, the collaboration includes all-new themed unlockable content, first-of-a-kind competitive game modes, and more for the mobile icons’ exclusive four-week-long event.
Within Subway Surfers, players can run within a Brawl Stars-inspired world with recognizable elements like the desert and crystal mines, with six new unlockable, themed characters available. As part of the update, Subway Surfers is offering its first-ever competitive multiplayer game mode, Showdown, where players can race against other characters to score points, earn exclusive rewards, and play unique power-ups.
“A competitive game mode within Subway Surfers has been one of the most requested features from our community over the last 13 years,” said Celia Zimmermann, Head of Player Experience at SYBO. “We knew there was no better time to introduce a competitive element to the game than during a crossover with Brawl Stars. We’re excited to bring this collaboration to life and incorporate elements from Brawl Stars’ beloved multiplayer-style gameplay into Subway Surfers for the very first time.”
Brawl Stars, a team-based mobile game where players battle across a variety of maps and game modes, is simultaneously hosting an entirely Subway Surfers-themed season for its players. The season includes the launch of the game’s first-ever racing mode: Subway Run, a 10-player showdown race where Brawlers aim to be the first to cross through a variety of checkpoints and reach the finish line. Brawl Stars is also introducing Subway Surfers-inspired rewards and unique power-ups, including eight “Subway Supers” such as Super Sneakers, Brawler Magnet, Hoverboard Charge, Jetpack, and more, that can be activated to gain advantages during a brawl.
The collaboration builds upon the success of Subway Surfers’ previous game collaborations throughout this year. In March, Subway Surfers launched its first crossover event with another mobile classic, Crossy Road, marking one of its most successful in-game IP partnerships to date. In August, Subway Surfers and 8 Ball Pool additionally launched a three-week-long dual-game collaboration.
Players can enjoy the collaboration within Subway Surfers now through October 5, and within Brawl Stars through October 1. For more information, visit www.sybo.com and https://supercell.com/en/games/brawlstars/.
