Have you ever wondered what Yacht Club Games would do after Shovel Knight? The answer isn't quite as straightforward as you think. The studio has just announced a retro ninja action platformer named Cyber Shadow. It's very much in the company's wheelhouse, but Yacht Club isn't on development duties -- it's merely publishing the game. Mechanical Head Games is the development team, and from this first trailer, it looks like it's doing a great job.
In a world overrun by machines, Shadow the ninja sets off on a quest to rescue his fallen clan. It's clearly been inspired by the likes of Ninja Gaiden, and it certainly looks the part with its 8-bit stylings. There will be lots of bosses to fight, skills to unlock, and secrets to find.
There's no release date right now. Cyber Shadow looks like one to watch -- like The Messenger, this could be a highly entertaining retro adventure. What do you think? Air dash into the comments below.

And just coming right off of The Messenger too. You can never have too much Ninja action.
And again: This will sell like crazy on Switch and be overlooked by lots of PS4 gamers. But I’ll give a damn. Getting this day one. Better support games like this then the 10.000th FIFA or CoD.
I’d like to have a physical copy though.
Edit: Lol, just like some f*cking idiots complaining on the official PlayStation YouTube channel that they want „nice graphic games“ and not „games that were made 200 years ago“. Yeah right... Ubisoft games, CoD, FIFA and the next standard battle royal bullsh*t are better than this. They should go and see a therapist.
Ninja Gaiden on crack - I'm in!
@Lando_ I grew up playing games like this on the VIC-20, C64, and Amiga. Absolutely no interest in them now, though, for exactly that reason.
@KingdomHeartsFan
Shinobi's here Shinobi's over there Shinobi's are everywhere !
@Lando_ I understand your pain, but I must admit that since I bought I switch, I prefer indie titles on there over the PS4. It's perfect for co-op and far less intimidating for my wife to pick up and play. Also having no trophies reduces the burden on my OCD mind 😀
Cinematic, story driven games are definitely bought on my PS4 though.
OH DAAAAAANNNG!!!!!!!! MEGA HYYYYYYYPE!
