HYDE RUN Mobile Game Launches Worldwide on iOS and Android
HYDE RUN, a fast-paced endless runner featuring Japanese rockstar HYDE, is now available globally on iOS and Android devices. Developed by Phoenixx Inc., the game was previously exclusive to Japan and is now expanding to a wider audience.
Players can take control of HYDE as he dashes through the rooftops of a futuristic city called NEO TOKYO. Using swipe based controls, players jump over obstacles, slide under ledges, and run along walls while collecting musical notes. Power-ups like magnets help gather more notes, and items such as “Note Gain” and “Barrier” provide advantages before each run.
In-game crystals can be earned or bought to unlock limited-time outfits and furniture sets. A key feature includes voice clips from HYDE, which can be unlocked by acquiring the Microphone Stand item. Players can also collect memorabilia from HYDE’s career to customize an ingame room with decorative items and artifacts.
Progressing in the game increases the “HYDE Rank.” Players who collect enough hearts and improve their rank can earn a place on the official HYDE RUN leaderboards.
To celebrate the global release, several exclusive items are available until June 10, 2025:
- THE LAST ROCKSTARS Costume Set: Features an alternate outfit based on HYDE’s look in “THE LAST ROCKSTARS.”
- ROCK Furniture Set: Includes themed decor such as a leopard statue, flowers, stage lights, and HYDE’s vintage trunk.
- Bat Jinbei Costume Set: A relaxed outfit created by Kuniyoshi Kaneko, inspired by Japanese summer festivals.
- Japanese Furniture Set: Complements the jinbei costume with traditional items like wind chimes, bamboo grass, and lanterns.
Phoenixx Inc. CEO Sakamoto shared, “HYDE RUN was originally exclusive to Japan, but now the entire world can celebrate his music in a fun, fresh way. We’re honored to commemorate his career with a game full of references to his iconic moments.”
The game is available for download from the Apple App Store and Google Play Store.
