Introducing The Run: Got Next

We’re not interested in making another simulation of the pros for our consoles and PCs. Our focus is to create games that celebrate the global culture and spirit of sports - bringing people together, focusing on the fun and pure play within each sport, and creating everlasting memories from those experiences. We've taken a lot of inspiration from the sports games we grew up playing, and we're ready to shake up the sports games landscape with something new.

And we’re starting with basketball. Introducing The Run: Got Next – a character-driven, full court 3v3 hoops game that celebrates the attitude, style and skills of streetball culture. Bring your squad to some of the most legendary street courts around the world and see how long you can go on a Run.

Our focus from day one started with gameplay and nailing our style and flavor of basketball, built with players at the center, gameplay that’s easy to pick up and play and fun to master. The Run is chalk full of signature dunks, monster blocks, unbelievable handles, long 3s and alley oops – our aim is to take things right to the line of bending the rules (in the name of fun), while keeping the game grounded in the sport we all love.

You’ll build a squad from a roster of diverse, larger-than-life street ballers, each with their own towering strengths and customized move sets to fit their specific playstyle, readying you up for your Run around the world. Building a winning streak and holding the court will require more than just a sweet jumper – there’s layers of strategy along with surprises to keep you on your toes in every run. Some courts will favor different playstyles and you’ll visit a shop between games to customize your experience – items, abilities, sponsors. kicks and more – every Run is unique (and you never know who you might meet along the way).

All this takes place in a world our team has handcrafted with a uniquely stylized look and feel. Everything from our characters to some of the most legendary and unexpected courts around the world – hand-painted textures, cell-shaded characters, hand-keyed animations and the list goes on and on. This is a fully curated sports experience.

Our goal is to create a game that truly looks, feels and plays like nothing else out there. A game that leverages the learnings our team has had working on games like NBA Street, Battlefield, Madden, God of War, Apex Legends, League of Legends, Dead Space and more, and equally inspired by games we’ve been playing like Valorant, Balatro, Hades, Tape to Tape, just to name a few.

We’ve been quietly working on The Run: Got Next for more than two years now and we’re excited we can finally share something more with the world. We’re launching in 2025 on Steam, Playstation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. You can wishlist the game now, sign up for a chance to playtest and follow us on social and our Discord if you want to join our community and come help us create the next great sports game.
