Indie fighter Yatagarasu will be making its way to arcades for the first time next week. Starting February 12, Yatagarasu Attack on Cataclysm will be available for play in game centers across Japan via TAITO’s NESiCAxLive digital distribution service.
Created by three former King of Fighters developers, Attack on Cataclysm is an update to the original Yatagarasu that adds three new characters: Azure, Kotaro, and Aja. This new version comes to fruition thanks to the backing of an Indiegogo crowdfunding campaign, raising $118,243 of its original $68,000 goal.
With this release, Yatagarasu will join the likes of Melty Blood and Akatsuki Blitzkampf, other doujin fighting games that have made the transition to arcade. It will also eventually make its way to PC, with both Japanese and English language releases.
