HYDE RUN Trailer Drops as Rockstar Parkour Hits Phones Today
Picture this—a rockstar tearing across neon-lit rooftops, flipping over obstacles, and chasing musical notes in a futuristic city. That’s the vibe we’re getting with the latest mobile game launch. It’s fast, it’s loud, and it’s landing on your phone screen right now.
If you’re into music, games, or just cool stuff, this one’s worth a look. We’re talking about a high-energy endless runner that’s all about slick moves and big scores. And it’s not just any game—it’s got a real-life legend at the center of it all, bringing his own style to the mix.
Today, HYDE RUN arrives on iOS and Android, free to download with English support. It stars HYDE, the iconic Japanese rockstar, and it’s brought to life by Phoenixx Inc. You’ll flick your way through NEO TOKYO, dodging barriers, wall-running past billboards, and snagging notes to rack up points. The controls are simple—just swipe to leap or slide—but the action feels like a guitar solo in motion.
HYDE’s no stranger to the spotlight. As the voice behind bands like L’Arc-en-Ciel and VAMPS, plus his solo work, he’s been rocking stages for over 20 years. Now, he’s jumping into gaming, and it’s a chance for us to run alongside him.
Collecting crystals in-game lets you unlock outfits—like the ‘THE LAST ROCKSTARS Costume Set’ or the chill ‘Bat Jinbei Costume Set’—and deck out his room with stuff like vintage trunks or Japanese wind chimes. These special items are only around until June 10, 2025, so don’t sleep on them.
There’s more to it than just running. Grab power-ups like magnets to pull in notes from a distance or a barrier to shrug off hits. Hearts you pick up boost your ‘HYDE Rank’—get enough, and you might land on the top-100 leaderboard. Plus, if you hunt down hidden goodies, you’ll unlock voice clips and messages straight from HYDE himself. Imagine hearing him cheer you on after a killer run.
Sakamoto, the head of Phoenixx, says they built this to celebrate HYDE’s wild career. It started as a Japan-only thing, but now it’s global, packed with nods to his past—like artifacts from his music videos and tours. I’d say it’s a neat way to mix gaming with a backstage pass to his world.
You can jump in now—no cost to start—and see how far you can push your score. Whether you’re here for the parkour, the music, or just to mess around with HYDE’s virtual wardrobe, it’s a loud, fast ride that’s tough to put down.
