Bomb Rush Cyberfunk Has Been Delayed Again

Developer Team Reptile has announced that the upcoming spiritual successor to Jet Set Radio, Bomb Rush Cyberfunk, has been delayed from its initial 2022 release window to summer 2023 “to create a fulfilling and unique game.” However, the developer also stated it would “be dumping a lot more visuals” this week to show the game’s development progress. Bomb Rush Cyberfunk will launch for PC via Steam and Nintendo Switch as a timed console exclusive before releasing on other consoles shortly after.

The developer’s full statement regarding the delay can be seen below:

“We are convinced that releasing the game this year will not take it to a level where we would be personally satisfied with. To create a fulfilling and unique game we are extending the development time of Bomb Rush Cyberfunk to summer 2023.”

The game’s details:

Team Reptile brings you Bomb Rush Cyberfunk, one second per second of highly advanced funkstyle. In a world from the mind of Dion Koster, where self-styled crews are equipped with personal boostpacks, new heights of graffiti are reached. Start your own cypher and dance, paint, trick, face off with the cops and stake your claim to the extrusions and cavities of a sprawling metropolis in an alternate future set to the musical brainwaves of Hideki Naganuma.

Key Features

In the game you can choose a character from your crew and explore the three-dimensional streets freely.

The goal is to bomb and get your name up. Every neighborhood has many spots to find where you can paint graffiti. Once you get enough REP you can challenge the local crew for the territory.

Features a unique trick system with grinding, sliding, wallrunning and tricking in the air as well as on the ground.

You will encounter a lot of weirdos.

Graffiti

Your boostpack allows you to hit even the most insane spots with ease. Once you are near a graffiti spot you can activate graffiti mode and be suspended in mid-air. Hit all the targets and the sequence you make will determine the piece that shows up! Bigger size spots mean more targets to hit before the timer runs out.

Tricks

You can string your tricks and graffiti into combos to increase your score. Land a combo and your score will be transformed to boost power. The more stylish you are, the more you can use this boost power to zoom through the city at top speed. Do a crazy enough combo and you’ll go into Bomb Rush Mode, gaining infinite boost power.
