Independent game developer Play by Play Studios has officially announced its launch and introduced its first project: a character-driven 3v3 basketball game titled The Run: Got Next. This game not only celebrates the excitement of basketball but also its vibrant culture.
The Run: Got Next is designed to be approachable for casual gamers while offering depth for those seeking more competitive gameplay. The full-court experience reimagines traditional basketball rules to prioritize fun without becoming a full-blown arcade title. The developers invite players to view the action-packed trailer showcasing the game’s dynamic features.
In The Run: Got Next, players create customized rosters, utilizing unique move sets to build winning streaks and dominate their courts. The game offers a variety of playing environments, each tailored to different playing styles. Additionally, it includes an in-game shop where players can acquire various items, abilities, and gear, although it remains unclear if real-money transactions will be utilized.
Visually, The Run: Got Next aims for a distinctive art style, featuring hand-painted textures, cel-shaded characters, and meticulously crafted animations to create an immersive experience.
The game is set to launch in 2025 on PC and leading console platforms. With over two years of development already invested, The Run: Got Next showcases the team’s experience from notable titles including NBA Street, Battlefield, Madden, God of War, Apex Legends, Dead Space, and League of Legends.
