If you're a fan of Japanese music, you're likely familiar with HYDE, the iconic artist who has not only graced Madison Square Garden but also sold over 40 million records. Now, HYDE steps into the digital realm as the protagonist of a new endless runner game, "Hyde Run," which has just launched globally today. Initially released in Japan, this game now brings HYDE's musical legacy to fans worldwide, courtesy of developer and publisher Phoenixx.

Move, Jump or Slide in Hyde Run

In "Hyde Run," you'll take on the role of HYDE as you navigate a thrilling high-speed chase through a concert stage and a futuristic rendition of Tokyo. The game blends the excitement of parkour with the dynamic energy of a rock concert, allowing you to dodge obstacles, wall-run past vibrant billboards, and collect musical notes. What sets "Hyde Run" apart from typical endless runners is its infusion of guitar solo energy and nods to HYDE's career, creating a unique and immersive experience.

As you dash through the neon-lit city, you can snag various power-ups. Magnets will draw notes towards you, while barriers shield you from harm. Before embarking on each run, you can equip items like Note Gain to boost your note collection or a Barrier to avoid pesky obstacles. Additionally, collecting crystals unlocks exclusive HYDE-themed outfits and room decor, and you can even access voice clips from HYDE himself by unlocking the Microphone Stand.

There’s More Stuff in the Game to Do

"Hyde Run" isn't just about running; it also offers a rich customization experience. You can decorate HYDE's room with memorabilia spanning 20 years of his career, from tour gear to hidden items that unlock special messages and voice notes. Currently, there's a range of limited-time content available until June 10th, 2025. The THE LAST ROCKSTARS Costume Set transforms HYDE into his iconic look from the music video, complete with matching ROCK Furniture featuring leopard prints, vintage trunks, and stage spotlights.

For a more relaxed vibe, the Bat Jinbei Costume Set offers a summer-festival inspired look. For those who prefer a traditional aesthetic, there's a Japanese-style furniture set adorned with bamboo, bonboris, and a wind chime modeled after HYDE's Edyh character.
