These aren’t the sharp gun-wielding gangs (although maybe there will be some of that), these are instead the spray can-welding types, fighting over territory with the power of art, man. The game follows the Bomb Rush Crew as they battle other colourful gangs for control of the streets.

The city will be split into five boroughs which sounds like five mini-open levels. Right off the bat, we see loads of ways we can potentially navigate the futuristic city of New Amsterdam, chaining together rail grinds, cartwheels befitting a gymnast, and an unnaturally high jump only reserved for platformers. Its newest trailer (embedded above) debuted at last night’s Nintendo Indie Showcase, and I’d like more of this vibe sprayed over my eyeballs, please. As such, you’ll be skating, dancing, and graffitiing across a colourful 3D city with a style to die for.

It’s been a long wait for Cyberfunk after it was first announced in 2020, and to make the wait even more excruciating, the game is a spiritual successor to the dormant Jet Set Radio series. After a slight delay, the cel-shaded platformer Bomb Rush Cyberfunk finally has a release date: August 18th.
