Yars Rising

Atari and WayForward had one of the more surprising announcements at the recent Indie World Showcase – Yars Rising. As a reboot of the former’s classic shoot ’em up series, it’s out this year for Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, PS4, PS5, PC and Nintendo Switch. Check out the first gameplay trailer below.

In a departure from its predecessors, Yars Rising is a 2D side-scrolling action-adventure title starring hacker Emi Kimura, who investigates QoTech corporation at the behest of a mysterious party. The gameplay involves platforming, run-and-gun action and stealth as players venture from offices to underground labs and space.

For those craving some old-school Yars’ Revenge-style action, some of the hacking mini-games pay homage to the same. Though not showcased in the trailer, there are also several different cars to control, including muscle and sports cars, with customizable colors and decals. Stay tuned for more details on Yars Rising, including a release date, in the coming months.
