Run, Gun, and Sneak Through a Shadowy Organization’s Sinister Web of Lies 

New York, NY (September 10, 2024) — Today, acclaimed developer WayForward and publisher Atari are proud to launch Yars Rising, the newest entry in the decades-spanning Yars universe. Yars Rising is now available on PC via Steam and Epic Games, Nintendo Switch, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 4|5, and Atari VCS. 

Join young black hat hacker Emi “Yar” Kimura as she unravels a deep secret and her surprising link to an enigmatic alien race. After being hired by a mysterious entity to infiltrate the QoTech corporation, Emi realizes she’s taken on more than she bargained for after she’s taken captive inside the company’s colossal headquarters. 

Navigate through an array of challenges, puzzles, and boss fights, supported by Emi’s team of eclectic friends, to unravel what QoTech’s been working so hard to keep secret — including powerful biohacks that may just change everything for Emi.

“I’m eager for players to meet Emi Kimura, the star of Yars Rising,” said James Montagna, Game Director of Yars Rising.” As a cyber criminal for hire, she’s far from your typical hero, but her sharp wit and endearing awkwardness make her impossible not to root for. Emi’s charm draws you in, and I’m certain she’ll become a beloved character for gamers everywhere.”

“The enthusiastic response to Yars Rising has been very gratifying; we know that fans are as excited for the release of Yars Rising as we are,” said Wade Rosen, Atari Chairman and CEO.

This newest installment in the Yars universe delivers a wholly reimagined experience that blends past, present, and future, establishing a unique take on metroidvania gameplay with stealth and hacking-based sequences that progress the story and map exploration. With gameplay that rewards both stealth and run-and-gun strategies, unlockable upgrades and abilities, and unique genre mash-up mechanics, Yars Rising creates some new rules and breaks some old ones, just as its predecessor did. 

Key Features of Yars Rising Include:

• Otherworldly Abilities: Emi must jump, blast, and sneak her way past waves of robotic and alien enemies. Her latent powers are revealed as she progresses, granting her wild augments and biohacks to reach inaccessible areas.
• Stealth Traversal: Emi can’t always shoot or jump her way out of a jam — tense sections of stealth gameplay force her to skillfully duck into the shadows to hide from relentless security bots.
• Sci-fi Intrigue: A seemingly bottomless mystery takes Emi from drab office buildings into underground labs and even to the farthest reaches of space as she uncovers the dark truth behind the QoTech corporation. A sprawling, interconnected map allows for hours upon hours of gameplay.
• Genre Mix: A metroidvania at its core, Yars Rising progresses the story with a series of hacking minigames paying homage to the original Yars’ Revenge, along with other levels and boss battles that take Emi far and beyond her “normal” adventure, like fight scenes and turn-based battles.

Yars Rising is now available worldwide on PC via Steam and Epic Games, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4|5, Xbox One and Series X|S, and Atari VCS. For more information, visit the official website.

Fans can order their physical editions on PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch from Amazon globally, Best Buy, GameStop, and Walmart in the United States, and a broad selection of retailers in Europe, The Middle East, and Asia. Find your preferred retailer: https://link.atari.com/buy-yars/

This week’s new additions to the Antstream library are an action platformer and a vertical shoot ‘em up.

London, 10th September: Following the big launch on PlayStation last week, it is business as usual at Antstream, which means two more titles coming to the massive Antstream library of retro games to play. This week we see Risky Woods (Mega Drive) and Wonder Planet (Arcade) joining the line up.

For challenge fans, head to Gun Force II (Arcade) and take on “A Mortal Coil”. Force your way through and get a high score in this explosive 1-life challenge.

Risky Woods, known as Jashin Draxos in Japan, is a side-scrolling platformer released by Electronic Arts in 1992. The game came to various platforms of the time, and the Mega Drive version was notable for having some visual differences from other versions.

In Risky Woods the player will take on the role of Rohan, who is charged with ancient monks that have been frozen in stone by Draxos and his minions. Jump from platform to platform, fight monsters with a variety of weapons, and rescue the stone monks. But beware, some of the monks will be evil and attack Rohan once rescued. Rescue all of the good monks to reveal the exit and move on to the next stage.

Released to arcades by Data East in 1987, Wonder Planet is a vertically-scrolling shoot ’em up that stood out from the crowd with its bright colours and cartoon-style visuals.

Controlling a starship in Wonder Planet, players will fire weapons forward to defeat flying enemies and drop bombs to destroy enemies on the ground. Currency can be collected and on a variety of power-ups, and special bonuses are available by collecting letters to spell certain words.

From rescuing monks to blasting enemies, Antstream players will be able to use the cloud system to pause and resume the action whenever they choose. Newly added titles are coming to the service each and every week, ensuring there is always something new to discover in Antstream’s massive library.

“These are really exciting times at Antstream right now. The recent launch on iOS and last week on PlayStation brings our mission to allow fans to enjoy retro games anywhere, anytime closer to completion. But there is still more to come, and that includes regular additions to the already massive Antstream library, ensuring there is always something new for players to discover. This week’s titles, Risky Wood and Wonder Planet, are both great titles that are sure to be enjoyed by retro gamers.” – Steve Cottam, CEO of Antstream.

Subnautica, Vampire Survivors and No Man’s Sky among 80+ titles taking part in sale to raise money for charity

Gamers’ charity SpecialEffect are inviting gamers to buy and play a selection of discounted games from some of the biggest names in the industry as part of their One Special Day Steam Sale running from 16-22nd September. Money raised from the sale will support the charity’s work helping physically disabled people to enjoy video games. 

A key element of SpecialEffect’s flagship annual One Special Day flagship fundraising campaign, the sale contains over 80 titles, including Subnautica, Subnautica: Below Zero, Gang Beasts, No Man’s Sky, Vampire Survivors, Bluey: The Video Game and Kingdom Rush Vengeance. Gamers have the opportunity to raise vital funds for the charity by buying games from over 30 participating One Special Day industry partners, who will donate a percentage of the resulting revenue to support the charity’s work helping physically disabled people to enjoy the magic of video games. 

The sale is the opening element of the 2024 One Special Day campaign that’s centered around Friday 4 October, when partners from around the world will be donating all or part of their games-related sales revenue for that day to help the charity. This includes a mobile games promotion that runs during One Special Day itself. 

A range of other supporting activities and studio events have already contributed over £50k of donations to the campaign and more will take place on and around One Special Day itself. These include auctions, game sales, quizzes, golf days and running challenges from companies including Rocksteady, NDreams, EA, Barclays and Skillsearch. Many creators will also be engaging with One Special Day through a ‘Showcase for OSD’ streaming event to support the Steam initiative. 

With demand for the charity’s services continuing to rise, SpecialEffect’s Founder and CEO Dr Mick Donegan explains the significance of the event:   

“I cannot overemphasise the importance of One Special Day in enabling our work to bring the joy of video games to physically disabled people across the world. Our team is facing an ever-increasing demand for all our services – accessibility advice, assessments, the expansion and localisation of resources such as gameaccess.info, our DevKit and our Eye Gaze Games website. The generous support of the games industry in securing the future of these life-transforming, free to access initiatives is hugely appreciated. Despite the current economic challenges, we’re looking forward to celebrating One Special Day in the company of a truly amazing and supportive industry.”  

The father of one of our beneficiaries, Liam, summed up the importance of ongoing support for the charity:  

“The SpecialEffect team visited our disabled 21 year-old son, Liam, to help him play games virtually independently for the very first time. To have been there to see the look of joy on Liam’s face is to know why all at SpecialEffect and anyone out there who contributes their efforts, or money for the charity, are simply awesome.”  

Since its inception in 2016, One Special Day has raised over $2.5M towards the work of SpecialEffect to help people with disabilities in the UK and all over the world.
