Sprint City from the creators of SpeedRunners sounds like a great spiritual successor

Sprint City has been revealed by the original creators of SpeedRunners, a new movement-focused racing platformer that looks and sounds great. Now going under the name of Second Stage Studio, there's no current date on when they'll release it.

It sounds mechanically interesting in the design of it too. Multiplayer focused with the developers saying it's built using a single shared world, where it drops you to nearby players seamlessly with parties staying linked up as you explore. There's also going to be a special free friend invite system, where your friends who don't own it can join via the browser for free. Pretty cool.

Co-Owner & Game Designer at Second Stage Studio, Casper van Est, said “With Sprint City, we wanted to focus on what we love most in games and what we’re best at, which is pure movement. It’s a shared world multiplayer experience built around how good it can feel just to move around, so we worked really hard on a satisfying game feel and a visual style that never gets in the way of that.”
