Multi-talented artist, designer and creative, Virgil Abloh, recently dropped an online video game, titled “Endless Runner”, as a digital companion to Louis Vuitton‘s recent Fall/Winter 2019 collection. Endless Runner is a throwback to the arcade days of video gaming, featuring 16-bit graphics and a synth heavy, lo-fi soundtrack, taking you back to the days of retro-gaming.

The creative director for Louis Vuitton shared the game on his Instagram last night, revealing that Endless Runner was created in and inspired by the cities of Tokyo and New York. The game is simple in its premise, following a character dodging obstacles and collection Louis Vuitton tokens throughout the city. The game gets progressively harder and faster the longer you survive and scores are tallied on a global leaderboard.

Playing as the character of the Endless Runner, the player navigates a backdrop of 80’s New York City, featuring the pieces from the set of Virgil’s Fall/Winter 2019 Collection for Louis Vuitton. Abloh also shared that “the highest score wins” although there’s no word yet on exactly what the prize will be.
Whether you’re bored at work and looking to kill a a few minutes or trying to get the highest score in the world, Endless Runner is free to play on any platform, available now.
