Halfbrick Studios, a pioneer in early mobile gaming, is bringing a new twist to the beloved Jetpack Joyride series with the upcoming release of Jetpack Joyride Racing on mobile devices this June. Fans of the original game will remember the thrill of playing Jetpack Joyride on demo iPads at the Apple Store. Now, they can look forward to a kart racing spinoff that keeps the excitement alive.
Set for release on June 20th, Jetpack Joyride Racing lets players choose from iconic Halfbrick characters, including the protagonist Barry Steakfries, to race for dominance in uniquely themed karts. The game aims to blend the casual, pick-up-and-play appeal of the original with deeper mechanical complexity to satisfy hardcore kart racers.
For those eager to get a head start, Halfbrick Studios has opened signups for a closed beta. Pre-registration is also available for the broader playerbase. If you're interested in joining the closed beta, head over to the official Halfbrick Studios Discord for sign-ups.
Spinning off from the traditional jetpack theme, Jetpack Joyride Racing introduces karts, which might seem a bit surprising at first. However, the game promises to maintain the fun and engaging gameplay that fans expect. While the shift from jetpacks to karts could raise eyebrows, the game is poised to offer a fresh and exciting experience for both new players and long-time fans of the series.
