TOKYO – April 10, 2025 – HYDE RUN, the high-speed infinite runner action game starring legendary Japanese rockstar HYDE developed by Phoenixx Inc., hops onto phones across the globe today on iOS and Android.
Renowned Japanese rockstar HYDE continues his musical journey! With intuitive flick controls, dash over obstacles, under ledges, and wall-run on the sides of billboards on a hunt to collect musical notes scattered across the rooftops of NEO TOKYO.
Execute guitar-solo-worthy parkour tricks along the way while scooping up magnets power-ups to attract notes from afar and maximize points. Activate items before each run for special boosts, such as “Note Gain” to increase the quantity of notes, or “Barrier” to reduce damage taken from obstacles.
Earn in-game crystals to unlock iconic limited-availability outfits, or purchase crystals via the Apple Store and Google Play Store. Access authentic voice clips from the globally renowned rockstar himself by unlocking the Microphone Stand. Uncover 20 years of memorable artifacts from HYDE’s illustrious career to personalize his room with a plethora of accessories. Revisit completed runs in search of hidden items unlocking special messages and voice notes from HYDE himself.
Grab hearts along the way to increase “HYDE Rank” and become a top-100 fan, securing a spot on the official HYDE RUN Ranking Leaderboards.
To celebrate the launch, HYDE RUN is offering limited-time costumes such as “THE LAST ROCKSTARS Costume Set”, “Bat Jinbei Costume Set,” and exclusive decorations like the “ROCK furniture Set” and the “Japanese style-like furniture Set.” These special items will only be available until Tuesday, June 10th 2025.
