We all know that speedrunning is about two things; SPEED and RUNNING. But which of the two is more important? Is the competition all about getting the highest SPEED, or is it one’s skill in RUNNING that ultimately decides the winner of a race?
That’s a question that’s been creating quite a controversy in New Rush City, where two opposing factions have formed; TEAM SPEED and TEAM RUNNING. “For sure it’s all about speed”, says Buckshot, spokesmammal of team speed. “I mean, you win races by being the speediest of runners - it’s called SPEEDrunners for a reason!” Gil wholeheartedly disagrees, saying “you can’t get speedy without running first. It’s obviously pronounced speedRUNNERS!”.
As the emotions are heating up between our speedy heroes, it’s become clear that each and every one of us must pick a side. So, which side are you on; team SPEED or team RUNNING? Decide quickly, because ON JULY 19th WE’LL BE RELEASING THE TEAM UPDATE!
This (free) update will add TEAMPLAY to speedrunner matches. You’ll be able to play 2v2, as well as 2v1 or 2v1v1. Pick a teammate and pick a team (team speed or team running) and work together to win races! Here’s what we’re planning:
- Teammates share their boost bars
- Teammates can swap their items
- Score 4 points as a team to win
Coming July 19th!
Alongside this completely free update, we’ll be releasing a new character pack as optional DLC. This pack will add 4 new runners to the roster, which we will talk more about in the upcoming weeks.
