Danmaku Unlimited 4: WYVER ULTRA

Post by SPM »

Sunny Tam has officially announced the 4th entry in the Danmaku Unlimited series, titled "WYVER ULTRA". This time in 3D :D

It's in development and we shouldn't expect anything soon, but an announcement is an announcement, and I'm hyped so here it is! :mrgreen:

Holy cow! 4K with 120hz frame support from the get-go with the upcoming Steam port -- surely the Xbox Series X will be able handle it with finesse and aplomb (am not sure with the lower-spec Xbox Series S console setup though). 2025 is surely shaping up to be a very good banner year with new stg titles down the pipeline -- wow! Color me impressed!

----------
I like the simple and stylized DU4 font used on the main title screen -- quite effective indeed.

Thanks for the 411 on the Steam tentative release of Danmaku Unlimited 4: Wyver Ultra, shmupper Faith -- I see a possible DU4:WV Exa release down the road as well (as DU3 did get a proper Exa release under a different title namesake, of course).

I remember getting the third game on Switch and never beating it because it was so difficult. I hope this one's easier.

This is awesome news! Danmaku Unlimited 3 on switch was my gateway into the whole genre, absolutely loved it. Fingers crossed it gets a release on switch as well (or maybe switch 2 at 120fps to try and make use of that feature and generate some extra sales?). I remember seeing on twitter that DU3 sold more copies on switch than anywhere else, so hopefully it won't be far behind the PC version....
