Or Shinobi-esque. One or the other

Theteased new projectfrom Yacht Club Games has finally stepped out from the shadows.Cyber Shadowwill be the long-awaited follow-up toShovel Knight, sticking with the retro aesthetic and bringing us back to the glory days of the NES era. Being developed by Mechanical Head Studios with publishing from Yacht Club, the title gives off some seriousNinja Gaidenvibes and I couldn’t be happier.

Cyber Shadowhas been in development for over a decade byAarne “MekaSkull” Hunziker. Yacht Club took notice of it a few years back and wanted to lend a hand to Hunziker to help the game realize its fullest potential. Thus the union was born and we’ll be getting this wild action platformer in the near future. Some extra spice in the concoction is the soundtrack, which will be handled by Enrique Martin with production from Jake Kaufman.
