As a seasoned gamer with over three decades of gaming under my belt, I can confidently say that the return of Yars Rising, accompanied by a comic book prequel, is like a sweet melody to my nostalgic ears. Back in 1982, I was but a young padawan when Yars’ Revenge graced our arcades and home consoles, and its comeback feels like a long-lost friend knocking on the doorstep.
In September this year, Atari and WayForward are set to unveil Yars Rising. To coincide with this release, they’re also planning to publish a comic book, much like how the original Yars’ Revenge was launched with a comic in 1982. The new comic will span 32 pages and can be bought digitally or physically. Additionally, exclusive preview editions signed by the author will be given out at the Atari booth during PAX West.
In a recent press release, Atari and WayForward have revealed they’re publishing a comic book titled “Yars Rising.” This comic serves as a prequel to the upcoming video game of the same name, scheduled for launch on September 10, 2024, across multiple platforms including Nintendo Switch, PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC. The talented authors behind this comic include WayForward’s Game Director Adam Tierney, as well as artists such as Ele Bruni (Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Tea Time), Ashleigh Hetrick (WayFoward Art Director), and Aurora Maeno.
Ever since its announcement, Yars Rising has appeared to be an enjoyable revival of a timeless concept, as it’s now being developed as a metroidvania game. In this new installment, players will assume the identity of skilled hacker Emi Kimura, who embarks on a mission from an enigmatic benefactor to penetrate the secretive QoTech corporation. Players can expect to dash, leap, sneak, and hack their way through a vast facility as they piece together the puzzling secrets hidden within QoTech. Yars’ Revenge, a highly influential and beloved release from Atari in the past, promises a triumphant return with Yars Rising.
