Halfbrick Studios, a pioneering force in mobile gaming, is bringing the thrill of Jetpack Joyride to a new dimension with Jetpack Joyride Racing, set to launch on mobile devices this June 20th. Known for their iconic endless runner, Jetpack Joyride, Halfbrick is now expanding the franchise into the high-octane world of kart racing.
In Jetpack Joyride Racing, players will jump into karts and race for domination, choosing from beloved Halfbrick characters, including the protagonist Barry Steakfries. The game promises a mix of casual, pick-up-and-play appeal alongside deeper mechanical complexities to satisfy hardcore kart racing enthusiasts.
Excitingly, signups for the closed beta are now open. If you're eager to get a head start, head over to the official Halfbrick Studios Discord for sign-ups. Pre-registration is also available for the wider playerbase, ensuring everyone has a chance to experience the game early.
While the transition from jetpacks to karts might raise an eyebrow or two—couldn't we drift corners with jetpacks and stay on track with barriers?—this spinoff looks set to deliver a fun and intriguing addition to the Jetpack Joyride universe. Keep an eye on Halfbrick Plus for more updates and other exciting titles coming to their subscription gaming service.
