Our Game
Here at Second Stage Studio we're working on the newest title in the 2D racing platformer niche: Sprint City! In our seamless multiplayer world, we want to enable players to live out their competitive racing dreams. The game will feature fast-paced and agile movement styles, made very chaotic with a wide variety of items to hinder opponents. It will all take place in a vibrant and unique world, filled with amusing characters and quirky stories. Look forward to bringing out your inner Runagade in Sprinty City, coming to Steam in 2026!
