SYBO to Adapt Animated Series Based on Subway Surfers Mobile Game

SubwaySurfers_Logo-300x188Sander Schwartz joined SYBO as head of animation and will adapt the Subway Surfers mobile game app into an animated TV series. 

Subway Surfers was originally conceived as animation, before it became the popular mobile game. With this agreement, Schwartz will take Subway Surfers to TV and film, dividing his time between the creative team in Copenhagen and content. Brent Friedman (Star Wars Rebels and Star Wars: The Clone Wars) will script a series of shorts and a long-form content.

The Subway Surfers characters and universe were created and developed by SYBO, and released as a mobile game together with Kiloo in 2012. The game is the most popular and played mobile app game to date.
