If you're a fan of Japanese music, you're probably familiar with HYDE, the legendary artist who has graced Madison Square Garden and sold over 40 million records. Now, he's stepping into the world of gaming as the star of a new endless runner game called Hyde Run, which has just launched globally.

Initially released in Japan, Hyde Run is now accessible to players around the world. The game's developer and publisher, Phoenixx, aims to provide a unique way for global fans to immerse themselves in HYDE's music through a game packed with references to his illustrious career.

Move, Jump or Slide in Hyde Run

In Hyde Run, you'll experience the thrill of parkour as you navigate through a concert stage and a futuristic Tokyo simultaneously. As HYDE, you'll embark on a high-speed chase across Neo Tokyo, dodging obstacles, performing wall-runs past billboards, and collecting musical notes along the way.

The game's atmosphere is infused with a neon-and-noise vibe, setting it apart from typical endless runners. Hyde Run incorporates the energy of guitar solos and fan service, making it a unique tribute to HYDE's music career.

As you dash through the city, you can pick up various power-ups, such as magnets that draw notes towards you or barriers that protect you from damage. Before each run, you can activate items like Note Gain to collect more notes or Barrier to avoid tripping over obstacles.

Additionally, you can gather crystals to unlock exclusive outfits and room items from HYDE's extensive career. By unlocking the Microphone Stand, you can even access voice clips from HYDE himself.

There’s More Stuff in the Game to Do

Beyond the endless running, you can customize HYDE's room in the game, featuring memorabilia spanning 20 years of his career, from old tour gear to more obscure references. Hidden items unlock additional messages and voice notes from HYDE, adding a personal touch to the experience.

Currently, there's a limited-time event running until June 10th, 2025, offering exclusive content. You can grab the THE LAST ROCKSTARS Costume Set, which dresses 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 and summer-festival vibe, the Bat Jinbei Costume Set is available. Alternatively, for a traditional Japanese feel, there's a furniture set featuring bamboo, bonboris, and a wind chime shaped like HYDE's Edyh character.
