Team Asobi is adding an online leaderboard for players to compete with one another. For now, we’ve received an overview of Building Speed only, which has players blasting through a city in the sky.
“Dodge cranes, smash through crates, and even speed through a flying car wash on the way to rescue your stranded crew,” Team Asobi wrote on the PS Blog.
Last but not least, the studio has teased “even more surprises coming soon.” Stay tuned.
