Chaotic penguin racing game Faaast Penguin is getting new worlds and gimmicks in Season 2 this month 

Japanese game developer Historia announced that Season 2 of their survival action game Faaast Penguin will start on November 21. Season 2’s theme is nighttime, and it will bring various additions to the chaotic online PvP penguin racer. 

Based on the concept of penguins battling it out in battle-royale style races, Faaast Penguin has a solo mode, party mode (for 2 to 4 players) and cross-platform custom matches for up to 40 players. In each high-speed race, you must collect items, take advantage of short cuts and attack your rival penguin racers for a much-needed speed boost.  

Running from November 21 through to January 23, Season 2 will introduce a whole host of new courses, gimmicks, a season pass, shop items and limited-time costumes into the fray. This first new world, “Tropical Hawaii Night Paaarty,” transports you to an over-the-top tropical inspired nighttime course with new terrains and gimmicks to discover, with a lively soundtrack to match. Mid-season, the “Sands of Egypt Night Paaarty World” will be added to the game. It seems this will be a nighttime version of Sands of Egypt, likely with new gimmicks and activities. 

Two major new gimmicks will be coming to Faaast Penguin in Season 2, which will give you new strategies for navigating the hectic racecourses. Attacking the blingy, Hawaiian shirt-wearing Dancing Bear will let you soar high enough to jump over walls, potentially allowing you to shoot ahead of rival penguin racers. The aptly-named Sardine Can Ball lets you obtain lots of Sardine Cans if you hit it into the air (collecting these cans increases your speed). 

Season 2 will also come with a Season Pass- the more you play the game, the higher your Season Pass level rises, rewarding you with new skins, special items and emotes. It seems Season 2 will also get some special limited-time events too. 

Faaast Penguin is available now for the PC (Steam/Epic Games), Nintendo Switch and PS5. Season 2 runs from Thursday, November 21, 2024 to January 23, 2025. The Xbox Series X|S versions of the game are “coming soon” according to the official website and will also get Season 2.
