ONCE MORE, WITH FEELING |
Developed by Choice Provisions (previously Gaijin Games), BIT.TRIP RERUNNER is regarded as a true love letter to the BIT.TRIP franchise.

Whether players enjoy the pre-designed levels in BIT.TRIP RERUNNER or venture into user-generated content, the combination of rhythmic gameplay, retro-inspired visuals, and an infectious chiptune soundtrack result in a memorable, hard-to-put-down gaming experience. Co-developed with the help of top Brazilian outfit Gamecraft Studios, BIT.TRIP RERUNNER skillfully tests players’ reflexes and rewards their creativity – including tasteful nods to BIT.TRIP greats. |
DEVELOPER QUOTE |
“This is it: BIT.TRIP RERUNNER has hit the PlayStation 5 in a big way. We’re thrilled with how the original Steam release was received, so it was all-hands-on-deck at the studio to get this console port done. Better still, it was completed in-house to our exacting standards – and the port matches the PC version 100%, including the ability to create your own levels and music. If you’ve been waiting to marvel at the sights and sounds of BIT.TRIP RERUNNER on the best screen in the house, this is it. Time to annoy the neighbors!” – Mike Roush (Co-Founder, Choice Provisions) |
