Don’t miss out—pre-register now to snag exclusive skins, and get a head start during the Open Beta Test running from Friday, September 6th at 6:00 PM PST to Sunday, September 8th at 9:00 PM PST.
Reckless Racing, Penguin-Style
In Faaast Penguin, you’ll compete in wild downhill races across various terrains, whether solo, with up to four friends in online multiplayer, or in a frantic 40-player battle royale. Zoom down slopes, knock rivals off course, hit speed boosts, scoop up items, and take daring shortcuts—all in a bid to be the first penguin across the finish line.
Diverse Tracks and Fast-Paced Fun
At launch, the game will feature 16 unique tracks, including island resorts, desert pyramids, and lush forests, with more tracks planned for future updates. The goal? Survive each round without getting eliminated. Winners move on to the next race, while losers are sent back to the summit to start over and try again.
Boosts, Bumps, and Customization
Speed towards victory by collecting Sardine Cans scattered along the track. Gather 10 cans to activate your Ultimate Ride, a high-speed boost that rockets you ahead of the competition. Ram into rivals to send them flying and slow their momentum, giving you the edge in this high-stakes race to the finish.
Customize your penguin with outfits, Rides, Ultimate Rides, and emotes to make your bird stand out. Some outfits even change based on how you play, adding a stylish twist to the chaos. Plus, with no performance penalties, you can race in style without worrying about losing your edge. Each new season brings fresh themes and courses, so there’s always something new to enjoy.
A Unique Racing Experience
Faaast Penguin was designed to be an exhilarating experience for all ages, like taking a tour of a resort the moment you launch the game,
said Shun Sasaki, Producer and Game Designer at historia Inc. “The ability to attack rivals and send them flying into the sky offers a gaming experience that’s unlike anything players have seen before. We can’t wait for everyone to feel the thrill of taking shortcuts by successfully launching a series of attacks!”
