Press release:
Düren, Germany – January 26th, 2022.
The Sweden-based indie games publisher/developer Headup and Germany-based indie games developer Aerial_Knight, are today very pleased and excited to announce that they are soon going to release a new huge free update for their narrative 3D runner, “Aerial_Knight’s Never Yield” (the update will soon be available for both PC and consoles!).

Furthermore, Aerial_Knight and Headup also announced today that “Aerial_Knight’s Never Yield” will be available for iOS and Android devices in the near future.

Players will soon get a peek in the upcoming trailer that will showcase the game’s new features and updated visuals.

Set in a sci-fi version of Detroit, Aerial_Knight’s Never Yield tells the story of Wally and the sinister evidence he has uncovered with the potential to change his city forever.

You will be forced to run for your life as you jump and slide to avoid upcoming obstacles with style to the incredible soundtrack created by Danime-Sama, showcasing the authentic sounds of Detroit artists along with the vocal talents of artists of color from across the globe.

“Da Update” adds a host of free new features to the game and makes huge improvements based on the feedback to the original release. The update includes new bonus levels, new music, a brand new endless mode and the introduction of leaderboards to allow you to compete for high scores.

Level and story updates aimed at adding refinement and intrigue to the core game, including a new post-credits ending, mean speeding through this sci-fi version of Detroit is slicker and more satisfying than ever before. Players can also look forward to overhauled UI, graphical improvements, new Trophies and Achievements, Xbox accessibility controller support and hundreds of other smaller tweaks.

In addition to the free update for existing versions of Aerial_Knight’s Never Yield on PC, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, PS4 and Xbox One, the game is coming to mobile platforms soon.

This version of the game will include all the additional content and improvements being added via the update. All these new features will be on show in the game’s new trailer, coming soon.

“I’ve loved reading the reviews, feedback, and watching people enjoy the game since it was released less than a year ago,” said creator Neil Jones, also known as Aerial Knight.

“Soon after the base game launched I started working on bug fixes and it quickly turned into much more. I decided that if I was going to update the game one more time, I was going to ‘Do the damn thing’! I’m excited to see the response when people get to dive into this new improved version of the game and soon play the mobile release.”
