Hashire Hebereke: EX is a modern remake of the 1994 Super Famicom racing action game Hashire Hebereke. The game features comical and cute characters, including the series protagonist Hebe, competing in extreme races across unique stages. While preserving elements from the original, the remake will introduce several new features:
A new Time Attack mode
New playable characters
Additional stages
Four-person online multiplayer support
This remake is particularly significant as it represents part of SUNSOFT’s ongoing efforts to revive its classic franchises for modern audiences. The original Hashire Hebereke was a Japan-exclusive release, making this remake the first opportunity for global players to experience this particular entry in the Hebereke series.
The development is being handled by CRT Games, with Gravity Game Arise serving as the global publisher.
