Just a week after first being teased, Circuit Superstars developer Original Fire Games has officially announced the follow-up to their debut game: The new title will be called Karting Superstars and is going to launch in Q3 of 2023 already.

What started as a few teaser tweets by Game Designer Alberto Mastretta and was mostly focused on the model of a kart and its driver turned into an announcement including racing footage from the upcoming title in a matter of days.
It is impossible to miss the Circuit Superstars connection: The graphics look just like the top-down racer's, and the circuit in the teaser video is available in that game as well as Siena. The big difference: Karting Superstars is not a top-down racer, but rather uses a third-person view, literally offering a new perspective to a circuit that is already known.

On the other hand, split screen multiplayer, different karts or upgrades to the vehicles, or a career mode are not included. Considering the evolution of Circuit Superstars since its release in 2021, there should be more to come from OFG, however.

Dynamic AI Difficulty & Replay Mode
Karting Superstars is already available to be added to players' wishlists on Steam, where Q3 of 2023 is listed as the release date. Features include a "tactile physics model that feels accessible while presenting a high skill ceiling", which sounds similar to the physics of Circuit Superstars - the game employed a semi-realistic handling model that rewarded learning the ins and outs of a track, as well as a clean racing line. Also on board are online multiplayer with up to 12 players, a dynamic AI difficulty and replays that come with several different camera angles.Karting Superstars ditches the top-down camera of its predecessor, opting for a third-person view instead.
