Team Reptile dropped a teaser for the Jet Prepare Radio-inspired Flop Rush Cyberfunk on Midweek that showcased the various ways players will be able to move around the game's sprawling metropolis. Skateboarding, bicycling, and rollerblading wait to be the 3 main modes of traversal, based on the teaser.

Accompanying the teaser was a statement by the game'due south director, Dion Koster, who elaborated on why these item move styles were called. "Bomb Blitz Cyberfunk is a large street culture symphony," Koster wrote. "In that spirit, I have decided to include skateboarding, BMX, and inline skating in the game."

Koster too doubled down on the game's previously announced 2022 release window, writing that the team would be "going in hard" to ship the game in 2022.

Those familiar with Sega's classic title, Jet Set Radio, will likely notice that Bomb Rush Cyberfunk bears a heavy resemblance to the 22-twelvemonth-old hit. Released in 2000, Jet Gear up Radio stars a group of rebellious youths who skate around Tokyo on rollerblades while tagging the city in graffiti. Bomb Rush Cyberfunk looks to exist built around a similar premise, albeit with more than move options thanks to the addition of bicycles and skateboards.

Given the similarities betwixt the titles, Bomb Blitz Cyberfunk has been lauded every bit an unofficial spiritual successor to the Jet Set Radio series since its announcement. Jet Set Radio composer Hideki Naganuma is fifty-fifty composing music for the upcoming indie championship, according to the game's Steam folio.
