If you’re a fan of Japanese music, you’re likely familiar with HYDE, the iconic artist who has graced stages like Madison Square Garden and sold over 40 million records. Exciting news for fans: HYDE is now the star of a new endless runner game called Hyde Run, which has just launched globally today.

Originally launched in Japan, Hyde Run is now accessible to players worldwide. The game's developer and publisher, Phoenixx, aims to celebrate HYDE's illustrious music career through a game packed with references to his work.

Move, Jump, or Slide in Hyde Run

In Hyde Run, you'll parkour across a concert stage and a futuristic Tokyo simultaneously. Playing as HYDE, you'll embark on a high-speed chase through Neo Tokyo, skillfully dodging obstacles, wall-running past vibrant billboards, and collecting musical notes.

The game stands out with its electrifying neon-and-noise atmosphere, infused with the energy of a guitar solo and fan service tailored specifically to HYDE's fanbase. As you navigate the cityscape, you can pick up various power-ups, including magnets that attract notes to you and barriers that protect against damage.

Before each run, you can equip items to boost your performance. Activate a Note Gain to increase your note collection, or opt for a Barrier if you want to avoid tripping over obstacles.

Additionally, you can collect crystals, which unlock exclusive outfits and room items inspired by HYDE's career. Unlocking the Microphone Stand grants access to voice clips from HYDE himself.

More to Explore in the Game

Hyde Run also allows you to customize HYDE’s room, featuring memorabilia spanning 20 years of his career, from tour gear to obscure references. Hidden items unlock additional messages and voice notes from HYDE, adding depth to the experience.

Currently, there's limited-time content available until June 10th, 2025. The THE LAST ROCKSTARS Costume Set transforms HYDE into his iconic look from the music video, complete with matching ROCK Furniture like leopard prints, vintage trunks, and stage spotlights.

For a more relaxed vibe, the Bat Jinbei Costume Set offers a summer-festival feel, while the Japanese-style furniture set adds traditional elements like bamboo, bonboris, and a wind chime inspired by HYDE’s Edyh character.
