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.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" src=\"http:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/20241113-39741-002.jpg\" alt=\"Faaast Penguin Season 2 Hawaii race\" class=\"wp-image-39746\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/20241113-39741-002.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/20241113-39741-002-380x214.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/20241113-39741-002-768x432.jpg 768w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>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, \u201cTropical Hawaii Night Paaarty,\u201d 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 \u201cSands of Egypt Night Paaarty World\u201d will be added to the game. It seems this will be a nighttime version of Sands of Egypt, likely with new gimmicks and activities.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" src=\"http:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/20241113-39741-003.jpg\" alt=\"Faaast Penguin Season 2 Sand of Egypt night world\" class=\"wp-image-39747\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/20241113-39741-003.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/20241113-39741-003-380x214.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/20241113-39741-003-768x432.jpg 768w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>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).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" src=\"http:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/20241113-39741-001.jpg\" alt=\"Faaast Penguin Dancing Bear\" class=\"wp-image-39745\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/20241113-39741-001.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/20241113-39741-001-380x214.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/20241113-39741-001-768x432.jpg 768w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>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.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Faaast Penguin is available now for the PC (<a href=\"http:\/\/steam\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Steam<\/a>\/Epic Games), <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendo.com\/us\/store\/products\/faaast-penguin-switch\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Nintendo Switch<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/store.playstation.com\/concept\/10008869\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">PS5<\/a>.
