Get Ready to Tag and Trick: HYPERFUNK Revealed
The developers behind the acclaimed title Bomb Rush Cyberfunk, Team Reptile, have officially announced their next project: HYPERFUNK. This brand-new 3D platformer promises to immerse players in a world of street tricks, intense graffiti battles, and high-speed action. While an exact release date has not yet been shared, an announcement trailer has offered a first look at what’s to come.
Set in a futuristic cityscape transformed by a mysterious phenomenon known as 'Hyper,' HYPERFUNK invites players to explore its vibrant environments on rollers, skateboards, or BMX bikes. The core gameplay revolves around performing impressive tricks, chaining together combos to earn points, and reaching insane speeds as you navigate the urban landscape.
Compete, Tag, and Evade in a Stylish World
HYPERFUNK takes competitive play to the streets with 'style wars' where teams battle for control over different districts. Players will engage in real-time graffiti battles, strategically covering rivals' tags with their own. The game features four distinct tag types, ranging from simple throw-ups to massive, intricate pieces, allowing for deep expressive customization and territorial control.
Adding to the challenge, players will need to master their skills not just against rival crews, but also against the ever-present threat of the police, who are always on patrol to shut down any unauthorized street art. The game also supports multiplayer, letting you encounter other players in the 'Hyper' space or team up with friends to dominate the streets and expand your crew's influence.
From the Creators of a Modern Classic
Team Reptile’s previous game, Bomb Rush Cyberfunk, was a critical success, earning 98% positive reviews on Steam. It was widely praised as a spiritual successor to the beloved Jet Set Radio series. As one review noted, "If such a game had been released 15 years ago and called Jet Set Radio 3, no one would have noticed the trick—that’s how accurately it recreates the atmosphere of a series that has no analogues among video games." This history sets a high bar and high expectations for HYPERFUNK, suggesting fans can anticipate a title that deeply understands and celebrates its genre.
HYPERFUNK is confirmed for PC via Steam, with plans for release on unnamed consoles as well. The developers have also confirmed that the game will include text localization in Russian, alongside other languages.
