SpeedRunners 2 Races Ahead With 8-Player Mayhem

Published on

The beloved 2D racing-platformer is back. SpeedRunners 2: King of Speed has officially been revealed as the long-awaited sequel to one of indie gaming’s biggest hits.

The original SpeedRunners, launched in 2016, earned a reputation as the “Mario Kart of 2D platformers.” Since then, it has amassed over 10 million players, built a loyal fanbase, and maintained a lively competitive scene.

More Players, More Mayhem

In SpeedRunners 2, up to eight players can now race, jump, and sabotage each other in online and local multiplayer. The core gameplay remains intact – fast-paced, precision platforming, and ruthless item use – but with brand-new maps, improved visuals, and even tighter movement mechanics.

🕹️ Compete in frantic races with up to eight players
🎯 Use pick-ups like missiles, traps, and freeze rays to knock your rivals off-screen
Master the momentum-based platforming and make the most of your grappling hook
🎨 All rendered in crisp, vibrant HD graphics

Built for Competition and Chaos

Whether you’re chasing the crown in ranked matches or hosting couch co-op mayhem with friends, SpeedRunners 2 is built to deliver pure adrenaline-fueled fun. The increased player count cranks up the unpredictability – and the trash talk.
