Sigma Star Saga

WayForward, the studio behind Shantae, just announced that it’s bringing back the GBA game Sigma Star Saga. It launches in 2025.

Sigma Star Saga is making its return after twenty years. WayForward isn’t confirming Switch support just yet, but given the studio’s output, that’s practically a lock.

Sigma Star Saga is a sci-fi adventure title featuring 2D space shooter and RPG elements. The re-release is being built with Limited Run Games’ Carbon Engine.

Yars Rising release date

Yars Rising now has a release date, courtesy of Atari and WayForward. The two sides confirmed today that it arrives for Switch on September 10, 2024.

Yars Rising was previously announced during an Indie World Showcase just a couple of months ago. Atari initially committed to a general 2024 launch window.
