SEGA hasn’t made a new Jet Set Radio game in years, which means if fans want a new experience, they’ll need to rely on a spiritual successor of sorts. Lethal League developer Team Reptile is currently working on Bomb Rush Cyberfunk, a funky cell-shaded game where you graffiti and parkour about the world. Taking some serious inspiration from Jet Set Radio, the game even features composer Hideki Naganuma, who worked on the aforementioned series and created its iconic soundtrack. Bomb Rush Cyberfunk is on the way and set for a 2022 release on “all relevant platforms”.

There's also his work on the Lethal League games. Now THAT'S a fun time with even friends who aren't big into fighting games!

Ain't nothing like a funky beat is one of my favorites!
I tried Lethal League once with friends, it was fun, but unfortunately got boring quickly :/

well it seems sega games are getting spiritual sucessors left and right, an indie dev also made a crazy taxi successor called
taxi chaos


Also didnt we get a jet set radio inspired game this gen already?

Hideki Naganuma, the original composer of Jet Set Radio was literally begging to SEGA to make a new JSR for years and he's been ignored constantly. He's also pretty active on his twitter and still tweeting about JSR constantly. Also puts up great music as well. I'm not even surprised (but I'm glad) that he's involved in this project. Make sure to check out his twitter.

WHY THE ACTUAL FUCK ISN'T THIS ON PC, FFS
I would be playing the CRAP outta this right now if it was, ugh >:C
Guess thanks for sharing, now I know it exists, ahah

As for Revolt or Hover or what, like, I tried it ages ago, but it didn't really click with me tbh

Taxi Chaos looks bad, and the soundtrack seems as generic as they come. Hover looks somewhat uninspired too, particularly in the level design and animations. Trying to make a proper "spiritual successor" definitely isn't easy.

Turn up the TV, do you ever read?

But it's more than a mom, isn't it?

Extra sugar, extra salt!

I just hope Hideki doesn't just provide one song.

He isn't. He's got multiple. The steam page says you need a "Naganuma Compatible" sound card to run the game, so I think he's making more.
