Approximately a decade has passed since the launch of the cherished indie platformer, SpeedRunners, and now, its publisher TinyBuild has unveiled a follow-up aiming to rekindle the original’s magic. The new title, SpeedRunners 2: King of Speed, is slated for a PC release via Steam this year, with console versions arriving in 2026.
speedrunners is often referred to as the “Mario Kart equivalent of 2D platformers.” In it, players race through meticulously designed 2D stages, leaping, scaling, gliding, and sliding their way to victory while picking up power-ups for a strategic advantage. SpeedRunners 2 will adhere to the same concept but now allows up to 8 players in each match.

In this game, players have the option to select a variety of superheroes, some being fresh faces while others reappear from the 2016 version. As they navigate through levels that blend retro and futuristic aesthetics, players can gather power-ups and enhancements to outpace or eliminate their opponents by knocking them off the screen. The competitors must strive to endure in a continuously shrinking ring of fire as they struggle for survival.
As SpeedRunners approaches its tenth anniversary, the sequel strives to enhance elements of the initial game in terms of graphics and gameplay, all while preserving the distinctive atmosphere of the ’10s platformer that enthusiasts adored.
In partnership with publisher TinyBuild, Fair Play Labs, who have previously worked on the Nickelodeon All-Stars Brawl series, are developing SpeedRunners 2. This announcement was made during the Triple-I Initiative indie gaming showcase. Although TinyBuild hasn’t specified an exact release date for SpeedRunners 2 in 2025, enthusiasts can add the game to their wishlist on Steam for more updates.
