Don your neon and your best hacker outfit, and dive into this brand new title from Atari and renowned developer WayForward, building upon the much-beloved Yars franchise in this 2D action adventure!
Step into the shoes of young hacker Emi Kimura, as she begins at her job at the shadowy QoTech corporation, and help her get to the bottom of a mysterious conspiracy that goes beyond even her wildest imaginings. Run, jump, hide, and grow your hacking powers as you descend further into the belly of the beast.
With WayForward (Shantae and Advanced Wars 1+2: Re-Boot Camp), the development team brings to life a new take on the old franchise, with WayForward’s distinct style of anime art, retro game mechanics, and storytelling expertise!
This new partnership between Atari and WayForward puts the Yars series in a whole new light–one more inspired by the tricky antics of Mr Run and Jump, Atari’s 2023 platformer that proved equally delightful and punishing.
While the Yars Rising announcement trailer stops short of demonstrating full-motion gameplay, it still looks solid and smooth, and shares telltale signs of Atari’s modern identity.
