Bomb Rush Cyberfunk was first announced in 2020 as the successor to Jet set Radio. In addition, Hideki Naganuma of Jet Set Radio is in charge of music.
The game allows players to ride around with boost packs and sketch graffiti in high places.
So far, Bomb Rush Cyberfunk has been confirmed for release on Steam for Nintendo Switch and PC. Coming soon to consoles too. It’s the latest game to join a long list of titles postponed to 2023, including Starfield and Sons of the Forest, so players will have to wait a little longer to play it.
