Ys Net and Shenmue creator Yu Suzuki announced Air Twister, a new shooting game reminiscent of old Sega classics like Space Harrier and Panzer Dragoon.

Air Twister is a new throwback shooter from Suzuki and his team, with a release date set for June 24th exclusively on Apple Arcade.  While details are scant, Suzuki noted the game is a return to his love of arcade games, and is described as a fantasy shooting game.

Here’s a rundown on the game:
