Shenmue creator Yu Suzuki’s Air Twister is coming to consoles and PC in November

Air Twister, the Apple Arcade exclusive directed by Yu Suzuki, is coming to consoles and PC.

The rail shooter has only been available on Apple‘s subscription service since it was released in June 2022.

However, as reported by Gematsu, publisher ININ Games has announced that it will be released on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, Switch, PS4, Xbox One and PC (Steam) on November 10.

The PS5 and Switch versions of the game will get a physical release in Japan (in both standard and limited editions), while the other versions will be digital-only.

It’s not yet known if the game will get a physical release when it comes to the west.

Directed and produced by Yu Suzuki (Shenmue, Out Run, After Burner, Virtua Racing, Virtua Fighter), Air Twister is similar in appearance to his 1985 Sega arcade game Space Harrier.

Players control Princess Arch as she tries to defeat the invaders who are attempting to destroy her home planet.

Although Air Twister was designed with touchscreen controls in mind, the Apple Arcade version allows players to use a controller instead, meaning nothing should have to be compromised in the jump to consoles and PC.

Discussing the genesis of the game in an interview with Axios last year, Suzuki said: “When I went to the Apple headquarters, we had a talk – and we actually had a really good talk about what if I was to do a really straight-forward game you want to play over and over again, like in old-school arcades.”
