Faaast Penguin release date set for October, roadmap

Historia set the release date for its new Switch version of Faaast Penguin today. The game is planned to arrive on October 3, 2024.

Faaast Penguin, a multiplayer racing game, was previously revealed for Switch in September. Although it came to PC that month, Nintendo’s fans have been forced to wait a bit longer – but thankfully just for a few weeks.

For a refresher on the game, check out the following overview:

Roll, slide and glide from summit to finish line in a reckless downhill race solo, alongside up to four friends in online multiplayer, or in a battle royale against forty fearless penguin pals. Knock competitors off-course, zoom across speed boosts, scoop up items, and take risky shortcuts while jockeying for first place in a fast-paced battle race.

Pump up the momentum across island resorts, desert pyramids, lush forests, and much more with 16 tracks available at launch and more to come afterwards. Deftly maneuver to reach the finish line and survive the cut, staving off elimination after every round. Winners can hop aboard a ride to the next race, but losers get left behind to try their luck by starting a new race at the summit.

Careen towards Sardine Cans to increase speed, and collect 10 cans to fuel up an impervious, high-speed Ultimate Ride boost on a rocket. Ram into rivals to bump birds skyward to give enemies a brief taste of flight while slowing their momentum.

Collect the most points at the end of 4 races to achieve victory! Customize outfits, Rides, Ultimate Rides, and emotes to stand out! Some outfits even change based on gameplay. Since performance is not affected, why not enjoy vacation in style? Return for each additional season and enjoy new themes and added courses!
