Halfbrick Studios, a pioneering force in early mobile gaming, is set to thrill fans once again with the upcoming release of Jetpack Joyride Racing on mobile devices this June. Remember the excitement of playing Jetpack Joyride on those demonstration iPads at the Apple store? Well, get ready for a new adventure as this beloved series expands into kart racing territory.
Scheduled for release on June 20th, Jetpack Joyride Racing transforms the classic endless runner into a dynamic kart racing experience. Players can choose from fan-favorite characters, including protagonist Barry Steakfries, as they compete for supremacy in uniquely themed karts.
For those eager to get a head start, Halfbrick Studios is offering a closed beta with signups currently open. If you're interested in diving into the action early, head over to the official Halfbrick Studios Discord to register. Additionally, pre-registration is available for the broader player base, ensuring you don't miss out on the fun.
Spinning off into kart racing, Jetpack Joyride Racing aims to blend casual, pick-up-and-play appeal with deeper mechanical complexity, catering to both casual and hardcore kart racing enthusiasts. While the shift from jetpacks to karts might seem unexpected, it promises to deliver a fresh and exciting twist on the iconic Jetpack Joyride formula. One might wonder if jetpacks couldn't have been used for racing, perhaps with track barriers to keep the action within bounds, but the kart racing concept certainly adds a new dimension to the gameplay.
