Futuristic cel-shaded skate ‘em up Bomb Rush Cyberfunk has seen its launch window pushed again. The non secular successor to basic Dreamcast skateathon Jet Set Radio had been scheduled to reach someday this yr. Now you can count on to play it in summer season 2023.
“We’re satisfied that releasing the sport this yr is not going to take it to a stage the place we might be personally glad with,” builders Group Reptile said. “To create a satisfying and distinctive recreation we’re extending the event time of Bomb Rush Cyberfunk to summer season 2023.” They added that they’ll be sharing “much more visuals” this week to let individuals understand how Bomb Rush is coming alongside.
Reactions to the sport’s delay have been mostly supportive, encouraging Group Reptile to take their time. That’s at all times good to see. The sport was first revealed again in summer season 2020, as one thing of a revival of Jet Set Radio’s mixture of graffiti, skating and normal coolness. By the point Bomb Rush arrives on PC, it’ll have been practically 1 / 4 of a century since Jet Set Radio was initially launched.
The final time we had a great take a look at Bomb Rush was a trailer proven final yr. It’s simply so Jet Set Radio that it’s exhausting to consider a lot else whenever you see the sport in movement. The look and motion of Bomb Rush is straight from the fleeting flip of the millennium obsession with cel-shaded graphics, and I actually do hope we get to see extra this week.
Bomb Rush Cyberfunk skates onto Steam when it does launch. Proper now, that’s a few yr away.
