For roughly two decades, Sega has ignored the cries for more Jet Set Radio titles. In a rebellious response, Team Reptile went to its own lengths to ship its own version of the game. Announcing Bomb Rush Cyberfunk, this is a successor with a lot of the same charm and it even includes original composer Hideki Naganuma. And the game is close to release this month – at least for Nintendo Switch & PC.

As for other platforms, the game has confirmed both Xbox & PlayStation are to receive respected ports in due time. Reflecting on the history of Bomb Rush Cyberfunk, the project has continued to faced continued delays as it was initial expected for a 2021 launch and ushered into 2022 after. Later on, the game was once again pushed to 2023 which we are seeing as a cemented date to launch the game.

This week, Team Reptile in a new ‘Special Trailer’ confirms that Bomb Rush Cyberfunk is to launch on Xbox and PlayStation systems at the start of September. You can watch the trailer in the video below:
