The countdown continues for Yars Rising, and now we have another look at the game focusing on the story. Players can take a closer look into the characters, narratives, and anime-inspired world.
Here’s some additional information, courtesy of Atari:
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.
The newest installment in the storied 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.
