Team Reptile, the development studio behind the cult hit Bomb Rush Cyberfunk, has announced its next title, and it looks like another Jet Set Radio-style game.
It's called Hyperfunk, and it's heading to "PC and consoles", with no date in sight yet. Here's the teaser:
Hyperfunk looks like a direct follow-up to what the studio achieved with Bomb Rush Cyberfunk. It casts you as a member of a gang, competing against others to rule the streets with stylish combos and graffiti tags.
Whether it's inline skates, BMX, or skateboarding, your tricks and combos will fuel your boost pack, allowing you to travel at crazy speeds through the city.
It seems you'll be able to play online or off, teaming up with other players to battle for supremacy or going it alone.
As mentioned, it's another game that looks and plays very similarly to SEGA's fan favourite Jet Set Radio series — which happens to be making a comeback of its own.
As part of the publisher's push to revive some classic franchises, JSR is one of the games in the works, though we've seen extremely little of it so far.
Hopefully it can live up to its legacy, but in the meantime, Team Reptile is very much carrying the torch for this very specific, arcadey-style sports game.
Are you excited about Hyperfunk? Let us know in the comments section below.

The first Bomb Rush Cyberfunk had such a boring opening mission I turned it off before i finished it.
This looks and sounds really cool. But I'm still much more excited for SEGA's effort.
Definitely more excited for the Sega offering, Jet Set Radio’s specific setting and style is yet to be matched.
LETS GOOOO!!! Loved the original Jet Set Radio, and Bomb Rush Cyberfunk felt like the perfect modern evolution of the formula. Super excited for both this and the new JSR, and I'm confident that these devs will stick the landing, so we'll just have to see if SEGA can pull it off too; living in a world with multiple JSR successors, never thought I'd see the day!
I'll "B" checking out the game when it releases. Get it, B for Bomb? HAHHAHA!
I just played this a few weeks ago and it hit all the right notes for me. Really liked it, but it certainly had some areas it could improve. Excited to see how they move the formula forward.
People shouldn't sleep on Bomb Rush. I got the platinum for it. Enjoyed it way more than I expected.
This trailer gave me a headache
Jet set radio has nothing to worry about. Bomb rush was temu jsr, it's sequal will be shein jsr lol
Now, Image if Sega was suing the creators of Bomb Rush Cyberfunk and Hyperfunk for copying the art style and gameplay of Jet Set Radio... You know, just like Sony is suing Tencent for that game copying the art style of Horizon. 😉
The audio in that video! Wow! I LOVE it!
Ah, now we know why it ended up on PS+ Essential a few months back.
I've never played JSR (I was a Nintendo kid back in the day) but I really enjoyed Bomb Rush. I will probably pick this one up!
