Yacht Club Games have revealed a story trailer for Cyber Shadow, along with the game’s release date.

As part of the Yacht Club Games Presents presentation, Yacht Club Games revealed more information on the game, as well as on their official website [1, 2].

Announced back in March 2019, this 8-bit retro Metroidvania sees you trying to save Mekacity from synthetic lifeforms.

You can find the story trailer below:

The official website also revealed amiibo support on Nintendo Switch. While no information was given, it seems to create a small robot to assist the player (in the style of Shovel Knight, Plague Knight, Reaper Knight, or King Knight). This also changes the player’s costume color.
