Update (15th March):
It has now been confirmed that this update will roll out on Switch on 30th March.
Original Article (26th January):
Aerial_Knight's Never Yield was a high profile Indie release in May last year, a runner with a distinct approach to storytelling and an excellent soundtrack. Though we appreciated its style and premise, in our review we felt there were a few shortcomings that held it back.
Its creator, Neil Jones, was following a lot of player feedback and - along with publisher HeadUp Games - has confirmed 'Da Update', which will be free and add all sorts of improvements; the game is also getting a mobile release. It's a substantial update and resolves some common complaints - it'll add an endless mode, leaderboards, and even more story content and music.
A trailer will come 'soon' to showcase the update, but you can read the details below:
“Da Update” adds a host of free new features to the game and makes huge improvements based on the feedback to the original release. The update includes new bonus levels, new music, a brand new endless mode and the introduction of leaderboards to allow you to compete for high scores. Level and story updates aimed at adding refinement and intrigue to the core game, including a new post-credits ending, mean speeding through this sci-fi version of Detroit is slicker and more satisfying than ever before. Players can also look forward to overhauled UI, graphical improvements, new Trophies and Achievements, Xbox accessibility controller support and hundreds of other smaller tweaks.
We'll keep an eye out for the trailer and a release date.

Lots more content but doubt it can elevate the game to being any thing other than painfully boring.
A short ride, but still one of my highlights from last year. I'm glad content is getting added.
Loved this one, and thought the name itself was an interesting and positive step forward!
Nice! I finished the demo and liked it. Bought the full game a bit later.
Remove the hacker alius from the title and I'll consider it.
Cool! I enjoyed what I played originally, (about halfway done) and need to get back to finish it anyway. This is bonus!
I'd play this on my smartphone for free.
Super excited for this update! Amazing game. Amazing concept. Played the original version from beginning to end with my daughter. Now she plays it all the time. The art style is slick and the soundtrack makes this stand out. Can’t wait for a sequel!!
@Gavintendo yeah dude included it cuz he got denied by publishers. He thought it was because he was one thing or another but it was mainly because the game itself is terrible but don’t tell him that. He thinks it’s a master work.
The name completely killed any chances of me ever playing this game. Call that shallow or whatever, but from the reviews it doesn’t sound like I’m missing out on much.
The name of the update is also just a bit juvenile.
I tried it out, but the demo was super boring, it's just another endless runner with really simple gameplay. And even if I liked runners, there are much better ones out there. I'm really not sure why they put out articles about this, when there are loads of far better games more deserving of coverage.
@Nintendo_Thumb because the dev played the race card when no publisher was interested in this unoriginal game in order to get attention.
@Nintendo_Thumb It's not an endless runner. It has an ending. That's why they are adding an endless mode. So you have something to do after you beat the game.
@PessitheMystic There is a free demo. Not sure what the name has to do with anything. Anyways, the soundtrack is killer. I recommend the demo for that alone.
