Cyber Shadow was initially revealed in March of last year, and is a game that has been in the works for 10 years at Yacht Club Games — which is the studio that brought us the critically acclaimed
Shovel Knight. Since the announcement, however, little to nothing has been revealed about the upcoming title.
Today, during the Yacht Club Games Presents livestream, the developer finally released a brand-new trailer for
Cyber Shadow — showing off some gameplay, revealing some plot points, and also announcing that the ninja action game will become available at a yet-to-be-determined date
this Fall.
Going by the trailer alone, we can already tell that
Cyber Shadow will be an action-packed game that also draws inspiration — much like the phenomenal
Shovel Knight before it — from the 8-bit era of video games, so fans of retro-looking games are pretty much in for a treat when the game finally releases.
Check it out:
In Cyber-Shadow, the world has been taken over by synthetic lifeforms. A desperate plea for help sets Shadow on a journey to uncover what started the path to perpetual ruin. Slash through the techno hordes, leap past traps, and nimbly navigate the ruins of Mekacity.
Cyber Shadow will be available for the PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, and PC this Fall.
