To celebrate YIIK’s release today, the game has received a new launch trailer. You can watch the latest video below.

YIIK is a game we’ve heard about for many years. Originally a title planned for Wii U, it’ll end up on Switch upon release.

After the lengthy development period, AckkStudios is finally closing in on the RPG’s launch. The developer anticipates having it ready for either May or July.

AckkStudios is still tinkering away on YIIK, its turn based Japanese-styled RPG. Earlier today, the developer provided a brief look at the game running on Switch. Check out the clip below.

AckkStudios has long been working on a couple of projects for Wii U. The first, YIIK, is starting to near the end of development and is also now on the way to Switch. The other is Chromophore: The Two Brothers Director’s Cut.

In February, AckkStudios said that Chromophore: The Two Brothers Director’s Cut is still happening. Nothing has changed since then, as the game is in the pipeline. It will receive the studio’s full attention once YIIK is fully complete. Of course, it remains to be seen where it’ll end up – likely Switch at the very least.

Many indie developers have been shifting plans from Wii U to Switch over the past few weeks. However, AckkStudios is remaining steadfast in bringing previously-announced titles to the console.

YIIK and Chromophore: The Two Brothers Director’s Cut are both still planned for Wii U. Even though AckkStudios hasn’t had much to say about either game as of late, it doesn’t look like anything has changed.

Chromophore: The Two Brothers has long been slated for Wii U. It’s been a long process for AckkStudios, but now that Y2K is wrapping up, the developer is shifting its attention back to that game.

The official Chromophore website has now been updated here. The new release window now appears to be Q3 of this year with development now 75 percent complete. If anything changes, we’ll let you know.

Update: Stream is over. Thus far, I’m not seeing an archived version unfortunately…


AckkStudios is currently hosting a stream on Twitch and showing gameplay of YIIK. We’ve posted that for you below. Once it ends, assuming it’s available, we’ll add in an archived version.

AckkStudios provided another release window update for YIIK today. When we last heard about the game, it was planned for launch between December and late February. We can now count on seeing it sometime between February and March.

AckkStudios wrote in a Tumblr update:

“We estimate we’re about 96% complete with the game, and believe that we can bring it to you between February and March!

Our original plan was to release it this month, however in an effort to avoid having the console versions trailing a few months behind the Steam release, we’ve decided to take time and try and release them on the same day, or within weeks.”
