Yacht Club Games is handling the marketing, porting, business, and typical roles of a publisher so that Aarne can focus on the core game development. To both studios, Shovel Knight and Cyber Shadowoffer players the trials of NES games … without any of the tribulations! After 6 years and 5 Shovel Knight games, Yacht Club Games had become associated with authentic 8-bit fun – and the company was confident it could rely on its past experiences and expertise to take Cyber Shadow to the next level. Aarne described Cyber Shadow to the Shovel Knight creators as an “NES-style game that had the level design principles of Mario, the skills and action of Ninja Gaiden, the enemy designs of Contra, and the dark visual aesthetic of Batman.” What the team played was a brilliantly elevated take on classic ninja action.

Aarne had been developing the game on his own for years with no intention of working with a publisher – but Yacht Club Games was the only team he’d ever consider to help him hone his creation. Yacht Club Games reached out to Aarne two years ago about getting involved with Cyber Shadow. Only you can unlock the secrets to your clan’s ancient powers in Cyber Shadow – a quintessential take on the ninja action genre. Slash through techno hordes, leap past traps, and nimbly navigate the ruins of Mekacity. Release Date: Nintendo Switch (Switch eShop) 26th Jan 2021, 19.99 26th Jan 2021, £17. A desperate plea for help sets Shadow on a journey to uncover what set the world on the path to perpetual ruin.
