“The extreme sports games in the golden age of the late 90’s & early aughts had something special. The speed, the banger music, the outrageous tricks, all pure fun. HYPERyuki captures that spirit immediately. Wasabi is building something with its own identity, and every new reveal gets more ridiculous in the best possible way. Acclaim is proud to be part of this journey & can’t wait for players to experience it with a new demo soon.”
