If you're a fan of Japanese music, you're likely familiar with HYDE, the iconic artist who has graced the stage at Madison Square Garden and sold over 40 million records. Now, HYDE takes center stage in a thrilling new endless runner game, "Hyde Run," which has just launched globally today.
Originally launched in Japan, "Hyde Run" is now accessible to players worldwide. Developed and published by Phoenixx, the game offers global fans a unique way to immerse themselves in HYDE's musical journey, packed with references to his illustrious career.
Move, Jump, or Slide in Hyde Run
In "Hyde Run," you'll embody HYDE as you parkour through a dynamic concert stage intertwined with a futuristic Tokyo. Engage in a high-speed chase across Neo Tokyo, dodging obstacles, wall-running past billboards, and collecting musical notes.
The game's atmosphere is infused with a vibrant neon-and-noise vibe, setting it apart from typical endless runners. "Hyde Run" captures the essence of HYDE's guitar solos and fan service, offering a unique and immersive experience.
As you navigate the city, you'll encounter various power-ups such as magnets that draw notes towards you and barriers that protect you from damage. Before each run, you can activate items like Note Gain to boost your note collection or a Barrier to avoid tripping over obstacles.
Additionally, you can collect crystals to unlock exclusive outfits and room items from HYDE's extensive career. Unlocking the Microphone Stand allows you to access voice clips from HYDE himself, adding a personal touch to your gaming experience.
There’s More Stuff in the Game to Do
"Hyde Run" also lets you customize HYDE's room, filled with memorabilia spanning 20 years, including old tour gear and obscure nods to his career. Hidden items unlock additional messages and voice notes from HYDE, enhancing your connection to the artist.
Currently, there's limited-time content available until June 10th, 2025. The THE LAST ROCKSTARS Costume Set features HYDE in the iconic look from the 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 look. If you prefer a traditional feel, there's a Japanese-style furniture set with bamboo, bonboris, and a wind chime shaped like HYDE's Edyh character.
