Those crates are clearly happy with the date

Each of Gaijin Games' previous releases in the BIT.TRIP series have taken at least a month to make it across the pond, with the last release, BIT.TRIP VOID, taking three months. Seemingly stricken with deep regret, Gaijin's making amends by bringing BIT.TRIP RUNNER to Europe first, even if only by a few days.

In just one week on Friday you'll be able to blip, bloop and bleep your way through Commander Video's latest adventure, with a US release following on Monday 17th May, giving you just enough time to warm up your sense of rhythm and get training those fingers.
