[p][/p][h2]“Faaast Penguin 2.0” Producer Letter[/h2][p]
Thank you, as always, for playing.I’m Sasaki, the producer.[/p][p][/p][p]“Faaast Penguin” has been developed not only as a racing game, but as a place where both adults and children can become penguins and enjoy themselves freely and playfully.

Over the past year and a half of operation, we’ve seen players enjoy the game in ways beyond our expectations, and it has once again made us realize the great potential this game holds.[/p][p] [/p][p][/p][p]And so begins “Faaast Penguin 2.0.”[/p][p] [/p][p][/p][p]From here on, Faaast Penguin enters a new phase.[/p][p]Centered around racing, we will expand the overall experience and evolve the game into a place where more people can enjoy the Faaast Penguin world in a variety of situations.[/p][p] [/p][p][/p][p]As the first step, we have added the party-based cooperative game *“Penguin Climbers.”*[/p][p]It’s designed to be incredibly fun when played with friends, so be sure to invite others and give it a try![/p][p] [/p][p]As for the racing mode, this update focuses on laying the groundwork, but we have major evolutions planned within the 2.0 roadmap.

We considered various names, but ultimately decided on “Faaast Penguin Race.”

Since it will remain the main mode as before, we’d be happy if you continue to refer to the racing experience simply as “Faaast Penguin.”[/p][p] [/p][p]Whether solo or with others.

Whether playing seriously or casually.[/p][p] [/p][p]Our goal is to create a game where anyone can become a penguin and enjoy themselves freely, anytime.[/p][p][/p][p]We hope to continue growing “Faaast Penguin 2.0” together with all of you.

[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]We hope you will continue to support “Faaast Penguin” in the future.[/p]
