“Welcome to the Air Twister Zone! Get ready!” No… let’s try, “Welcome to the Fantasy Zone. Get twisting!” Better… but now it sounds a little dirty…

Publisher ININ Games recently announced that Air Twister will be coming to Nintendo Switch, PS4, PS5, Xbox & PC on 10 November 2023.

Developed by Ys Net, the development house of legendary SEGA developer Yu Suzuki (Space Harrier, Virtua Fighter, Shenmue), Air Twister is a sci-fi fantasy shooter that harkens back to the classic arcade games of the 80s. Plus, it has boob armor, crossbows, and characters that ride giant swans. All good things.

Here’s the official breakdown of Air Twister from ININ and Ys Net:

Get ready to experience the exhilarating 3D shooter crafted by the legendary game designer Yu Suzuki, the mastermind behind Shenmue, Space Harrier, Virtua Fighter, and Out Run. Immerse yourself in a symphony of classic gameplay and a mesmerizing soundtrack and transport to Yu Suzuki’s creative worlds.

Air Twister is Yu Suzuki’s return to his arcade roots: an easy-to-learn, pick-up-and-play shooter with an inspired design and an extraordinary soundtrack by symphonic rock legend Valensia, who contributed a truly out-of-this-world soundtrack that has never been heard before in a video game.

Air Twister also presents quirky and unique moments that you will not find in any other contemporary game. There’s just something special about fighting a huge glowing space squid from the back of an armored flying fish while, at the same time, a lush glam rock solo reaches its crescendo. Air Twister is a game that has to be seen and played and heard to be believed!

The game consists of 12 differently designed stages, full of novel enemies and huge boss monsters that you fight with five weapons while speeding through highly detailed and imaginative 3D worlds. With each playthrough, you unlock more features and gameplay items to help you in future attempts.

From a technical perspective, Air Twister presents fast, detailed, and lovingly crafted 3D graphics based on the “Unreal” engine. Princess Arch moves automatically through the 3D landscapes while being surrounded by strange enemies and tons of fancy graphics effects.

Game Features:

• 12 artfully crafted stages with unique gear each time you play.
• Over 20 Vanguard creatures and 10 unique bosses to challenge your skills and simple controls for a fun and easy play experience.
• An epic soundtrack by Valensia, a music composer known for over three decades for keeping the musical rock and opera heritage of Queen’s greatest hits alive.
• High replayability by unlocking new gear, weapons, and Challenge Games in the Adventure Map.

Air Twister is developed by Ys Net and is scheduled to release on 10 November for Nintendo Switch, PS4, PS5, Xbox & PC.

In addition to the game’s digital release, there are plans for physical editions of Air Twister for Nintendo Switch and PlayStation consoles via Strictly Limited Games, with both “Limited” and “Collector’s” editions in the works.
