Team Reptile — the indie developer behind Lethal League — has just dropped a teaser trailer for a new title called Bomb Rush Cyberfunk, and it looks a lot like the legendary cult classic Jet Set Radio. In fact, the team even brought on one of JSR‘s original composers, Hideki Naganuma.

Quickly gaining a reputation as a spiritual successor, Bomb Rush Cyberfunk puts players in a very similar world where you’ll be able to jump and grind to your heart’s content, pull off crazy tricks in the urban environment, and spray graffiti everywhere you go. “In a world from the mind of Dion Koster, where self-styled crews are equipped with personal boostpacks, new heights of graffiti are reached,” say Team Reptile. “Start your own cypher and dance, paint, trick, face off with the cops and stake your claim to the extrusions and cavities of a sprawling metropolis in an alternate future.”

There’s currently no precise release date for the game, but Team Reptile says you can expect it to drop some time in 2021. To learn more, head over to the game’s Steam page.

For more things gaming, Kylian Mbappé is the new cover star for FIFA 21.
