Subway Surfers studio preps Blades of Brim to enter ultracompetitive endless runner battle

Sybo‘s Subway Surfers endless runner mobile game has more than 700 million times. Now the company is hoping for the same magic with its next endless runner, Blades of Brim, which launches today exclusively on iOS.

Blades of Brim is another entry that brings fast-paced combat and a new crew of runners and fantasy universe to the genre. It’s a crowded market, one that Temple Run kick-started in 2011. It now has tons of competitors. It’s so fierce that not even Zynga could crack into the market with its Warner Bros.-licensed Looney Tunes Dash. But Sybo has been one of the winners, as Subway Surfers has had 62 billion play sessions with 75 billion miles run. It was the second most downloaded game in 2014.
