Throughout the update, players have the chance to not only play within SYBO's home base of Copenhagen but also unlock and run in up to 21 additional cities, including Paris, Rio, Tokyo, London, Los Angeles, Hawaii, and more, in a limited-edition challenge. Players can unlock new cities by collecting all the World Tour suitcase tokens in their current destination, making each run a chance to explore a new part of the world. The update additionally brings two new collectible travel-themed characters, Loc and Stevie, as well as all-new outfits, boards, and additional rewards.

Subway Surfers' World Tour series was originally introduced into the game in 2013, and has since transformed the game's environment to a new city around the world each month. The series has played an integral role in Subway Surfers' 13-year-long success in the fast-paced world of mobile, ensuring the game continues to feel fresh for its 150 million monthly active players around the globe who look forward to seeing if their city may be featured in-game next.

"With a global player base like Subway Surfers, it's important that everyone feels a personal connection to the game. The World Tour series has allowed us to do just that – cultivating a 'global-local' experience that has contributed largely to the game's lasting success over the past 13 years," said Mathias Gredal Nørvig, CEO of SYBO. "We're excited to celebrate both turning 13 and visiting 200 cities in our World Tour, and are looking forward to Subway Surfers' next chapter as we kick off its teenage years."
