Earlier today, WayForward and Atari released the official story trailer for their upcoming 2D sci-fi Metroidvania titled Yars Rising. The exciting trailer is embedded above while more details on the upcoming game are included below:
In the new story trailer, black hat hacker Emi’s mission takes a dangerous turn when she’s caught hacking into Qotech’s servers and dragged into the depths of the company’s headquarters. What was supposed to be a quick in-and-out job becomes a fight for survival as she discovers powerful augments and biohacks. As she navigates through a maze of aggressive sentinels, laser defenses, and bizarre bio-hacking experiments, Emi realizes there’s much more at stake than she ever imagined.
Emi’s struggle intensifies as she attempts to escape her captors. Communicating with her fellow hackers, she uncovers hidden augments that expand her abilities, allowing her to explore previously inaccessible areas. As she battles through enemies and security systems, Emi begins to unravel the corporation’s dark secret and her unexpected connection to a distant alien race. It’s now up to her to expose Qotech’s true mission and prevent a looming catastrophe.
Yars Rising launches on September 10th for Nintendo Switch, PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Atari VCS. Stay tuned for more of our thoughts on the game in the future.
