Space Ape Games taps over 20 YouTube stars as characters in Fastlane: Road to Revenge

Space Ape Games has revealed over 20 YouTube influencers that will be starring in its upcoming arcade shooter Fastlane: Road to Revenge.

Kwebbelkop, Jelly, Slogoman, The Alvaro845, Chief Pat, Team Epiphany Jake, Coleson Comedy, TheSmithPlays and more will make up the cast of the game. The first three names in the list have 15 million subscribers combined.

The YouTubers will be directly involved with the game, designing their own vehicles and writing their own text for missions associated with them. Weekly events will also focus on tasks provided by the influencers.

Community first

"We are very excited to explore a new genre that evolves arcade shooters for mobile devices," said John Earner, CEO of Space Ape Games.

"At Space Ape, we have always put our community first, and integrating twenty of the world's favorite YouTube stars who love the title deep into the game with their own characters, cars and missions is a reflection of how much we celebrate our community."

Fastlane: Road to Revenge is currently in soft launch and is expected to launch some time in spring. Space Ape has also soft-launched another casual game, arcade racer Super Karts, on Android.
