Subway Surfers World Tour Iceland Edition
The Iceland edition of Subway Surfers was released on September 1, 2016, as the 55th installment in the World Tour and the 58th version in the overall series. Rather than focusing on a specific city, this update showcases the entire country of Iceland, capturing its icy landscapes and chilly atmosphere.
Character Introduction
Bjarki
Bjarki is a new Icelandic character introduced during this Subway Surfers World Tour Iceland update. He is depicted as a red-haired teen carrying a sheep, which remains a consistent part of his design. At launch, he was available for 95,000 coins, with an optional Power Outfit offered for an additional 15,000 coins.
Outfits
Bjarki Default Outfit
Bjarki’s default outfit includes a gray sweater, brown pants, purple scarf, red cap, and, notably, the sheep he always carries.
Bjarki Power Outfit
The Power Outfit features a dark blue tank top with a Viking helmet print, gloves, red shorts, and continues the sheep-carrying theme.
Exclusive Hoverboard
Big Blue
The Big Blue hoverboard debuted alongside Bjarki and was designed to complement the Iceland theme. Its cool tones and sleek design matched the frosty aesthetic of the update.
Event Gameplay
During the event, players were able to collect puffins as the weekly hunt tokens. There were no special one-time challenges; gameplay remained true to the endless runner format, enhanced by Iceland-themed visuals such as icy tracks and volcano-inspired backgrounds.
Re-Releases and Trivia
The Iceland update was re-released in 2018, 2020, and 2022. Interestingly, despite Iceland never having a subway system in real life, it was still featured in the Subway Surfers World Tour Iceland. Bjarki became the 35th limited-time character introduced to the game, and he was notable as the first red-haired surfer and the second male character added in 2016.
Tips for Players
- Unlock Bjarki early: After the initial availability window, he moved into limited-time re-release territory.
- Collect puffins: These tokens could be used to earn bonus items during the event.
- Use Big Blue with Bjarki: Matching the board with the character enhances the visual appeal during gameplay.
Subway Surfers World Tour Iceland is often considered one of the most charming and visually unique updates in the game’s history, offering players a memorable escape into a frosty Nordic adventure.
