Düren, Germany - July 16, 2024 — Developer Aerial_Knight (Neil Jones), in cooperation with development partner BetaJester and alt-indie publisher Headup, today released Aerial_Knight’s We Never Yield, a single-player and local multiplayer cooperative action game for Xbox Series X|S and PC, with Playstation 4 & 5 versions to release at a later date. In the game, you’ll play as two brothers seeking to regain their kingdom as they run, jump, slide, and ride through an expansive in-game kingdom packed with Afro-medieval-style visuals and incredible music. Aerial_Knight’s We Never Yield is available for $14.99 USD on Steam, Epic Games Store, GOG, and the Xbox Marketplace.
Aerial_Knight's We Never Yield is a pulse-pounding stylized action game that challenges players to run, jump, and slide over obstacles and attack enemies in an intense two-player local cooperative mode. Players can control both characters simultaneously in single-player mode for an extra challenge! Heart-racing beats guide the heroic brothers through the game’s dangerous and challenging environments as they race through intense episodes with immense boss battles throughout.
Features of Aerial_Knight’s We Never Yield include:
- An all-new story featuring two brothers, Wally & Lone, and their fight against a misguided Queen
- A visually striking Afro-medieval aesthetic brings the dynamic kingdom to life
- Powerful voice acting performed by Black performers and artists, including Blessing Adeoye Jr., Belsheber Rusape Jr., and BlackKrystel
- Same-screen multiplayer cooperative mode: Each player controls a brother as they race through the levels
- Single-player split-control play option: play as the two brothers on one keyboard or while sharing a controller
- Fast-paced action: take control of twin brothers Wally and Lone — running, jumping, and smashing through obstacles and enemies with style
- A pulse-pounding orchestral Hip Hop soundtrack created by Detroit artist Danime-Sama & Aerial_Knight himself

- Safe zones filled with outfits and weapons to change up your look
