Independent developer teases Jet Set Radio’s spiritual successor Bomb Rush Cyberfunk


There is little confusion about what Bomb Rush Cyberfunk purports to be: a spiritual successor (or a very loving tribute) to Sega’s elegant Jet Set Radio series.

Developed by the independent studio Team Reptile, the creator of Lethal League, Bomb Rush Cyberfunk It will allow players to “dance, paint, cheat, confront the cops, and present their claim to the extrusions and cavities of a sprawling metropolis in an alternate future,” according to its official description on Steam.

Bomb Rush Cyberfunk It will also feature the musical styles of Hideki Naganuma, the composer known for his work on Jet Set Radio and Jet Set Radio Future. So, yes, someone is making a new Jet Set Radio style game since Sega is not.

A brief teaser preview for Bomb Rush Cyberfunk It showcases routine, labeling, and rail dancing, all with a funky, shady visual style players should expect from the game. The game description suggests “personal boost packs” that will allow players, as part of a team, to reach “new heights of graffiti.”

Team Reptile is targeting a 2021 launch window to Bomb Rush Cyberfunk.
