Sega previously announced it would be releasing a remake of the original Jet Set Radio game, and now it seems some new footage and screenshots may have leaked online.
As highlighted by Insider Gaming, four new screenshots showing off what appears to be an "early in-development version" of the game have appeared on social media. This includes a look at the game map and art style as well as some of the gameplay. Of course, this is all subject to change, with this build apparently dating back to 2021.
It's also worth mentioning how this is apparently not related to the free-to-play live service game SEGA is working on.
It looks like some video footage of the development build has also been shared online. In it, you can see the character 'Beat' rolling around, some of the other characters, and a look at the game's map.
Jet Set Radio is one of the series SEGA plans to revitalise as part of a new initiative to bring back its classics. Other series getting the same or similar treatment include titles like Crazy Taxi and Streets of Rage. Jet Set Radio was previously released on the Xbox 360 back in 2012, and before this in 2002, the original Xbox scored the exclusive title Jet Set Radio Future.
What do you make of this footage? Let us know in the comments.

Looks so dull and lifeless. Unreal engine?
@dreadful you understand what 'development build' means, right?
@BBB you do understand that a JSR sequel would be indistinguishable from a remake as this point. The games barely have a plot
It's kind of bizarre when the spiritual successor has a more authentic and fitting art style than.. whatever this is.
I'm still happy they're bringing the series back, but it doesn't give me much confidence in what they're doing.
@BBB May I direct you to Bombrush Cyberfunk? FutureGrind? Sunset Overdrive? Butterflies? Hover?
New IPs in this type of genre tend to be flops. Better to use an established IP or sequel to try to move some copies.
At least with a remake, a proper one at least, it sticks very closely to the original. So people like myself, who have been wanting a Jet Set Radio Future remake, unlike the Jet Grind Radio remake we got, would be all over it.
Removed - unconstructive
@BBB As an eye user yourself, please watch the footage before complaining for the sake of it
That looks pretty awesome all things considered!
Oh hell yes!!! I’ll buy this day one without hesitation.
"stop enjoying things reeee"
