Temple Run gets a sequel on iOS, Android version to come out next week

July 18, 2025

Casual games are all the rage with touchscreen devices like smartphones and tablets. Temple Run is one such title, and the runner has actually soared to popularity on both Apple’s App Store and the Google Play Store, garnering a million downloads on its first three days alone after launch on Google Play, and a total of100 million downloads in its first year. The game has since had a spinoff, based on Disney’s Brave animated film. Just yesterday, Imangi Studios released version two of the wildly popular running game.

The game’s sequel was first launched in New Zealand, and will be made available to the rest of the world thereafter. The game has been updated with new gameplay features and storylines. The landscape is more diverse, and gameplay is made more exciting by new obstacles and traps.

Imangi Studios says the game features better graphics, new characters and special achievements. Oh, don’t forget the bigger monkey!

Folks who are not too excited with the basic gameplay can purchase upgrades in-game upgrades, which include Coin Value, Coin Magnet, Shield Duration, Pickup Spawn, Boost Distance, Power Meter and more.

A few points to note:

The initial release of Temple Run 2 is an iOS exclusive, but Imangi has promised that the Android variant — for both smartphones and tablets — will be out on Google Play next week. As before, the app is a freemium download, which means you can download it free, but will need to make in-app purchases when you want premium content. Check out the video below.
