If you're a fan of Japanese music, you're no stranger to HYDE. With a legendary performance at Madison Square Garden and sales surpassing 40 million records, HYDE has now taken center stage in a thrilling new endless runner game called Hyde Run, which has just launched globally.
Originally launched in Japan, Hyde Run is now available for players worldwide. The game's developer and publisher, Phoenixx, promises to celebrate HYDE's musical journey through a game packed with references to his illustrious career.
In Hyde Run, you'll experience the thrill of parkour across a concert stage and a futuristic version of Tokyo simultaneously. As HYDE, you'll navigate a high-speed chase through Neo Tokyo, skillfully dodging obstacles, wall-running past vibrant billboards, and collecting musical notes along the way.
The game's atmosphere is infused with a unique blend of neon and rock energy, setting it apart from typical endless runners. Hyde Run incorporates elements of guitar solos and fanservice, making it a distinctive tribute to HYDE's music.
As you race through the city, you can pick up various power-ups, including magnets that attract musical notes and barriers that protect you from damage.
Before starting each run, you can equip items for a performance boost. Use a Note Gain to collect more notes or a Barrier to avoid tripping over obstacles.
Additionally, you can gather crystals to unlock exclusive outfits and room items inspired by HYDE's extensive career. Unlocking the Microphone Stand grants access to HYDE's own voice clips, adding a personal touch to your gameplay experience.
Hyde Run also allows you to customize HYDE's room, filled with memorabilia spanning 20 years of his career. From old tour gear to obscure references, you'll discover hidden items that unlock additional messages and voice notes from HYDE.
Currently, there's a range of limited-time content available until June 10th, 2025. The THE LAST ROCKSTARS Costume Set features HYDE's iconic look from a music video, complete with matching ROCK Furniture like leopard prints, vintage trunks, and stage spotlights.
For a more relaxed vibe, the Bat Jinbei Costume Set offers a summer-festival inspired style. Additionally, there's a Japanese-style furniture set with bamboo, bonboris, and a wind chime modeled after HYDE's Edyh character for a traditional aesthetic.
