The first gameplay trailer for Ytash: A Nocturnal Poem, the upcoming 2D action RPG from Sunnyside Games, has just dropped—offering a fiery first look at its atmospheric combat and haunting world. Set in the same universe as Nocturnal, Ytash invites players to step into the role of Ardeshir, a warrior wielding the Enduring Flame, as he explores the long-forgotten city of Ytash.

Though much of the game’s content remains hidden to preserve its sense of discovery, the trailer teases its core mechanics: fluid combat, flame-based exploration, and a unique fire system that plays a central role in both traversal and storytelling. Players must protect and carry their flame through a dark, compact island filled with secrets, danger, and long-dormant machines that only light can awaken.
As you progress, you’ll use your sword to relight ancient mechanisms, fend off nightmarish creatures, and piece together fragments of a forgotten poem—uncovering the tragic tale of a city that burned itself out from within.
Ytash: A Nocturnal Poem is scheduled for release sometime later this year via Steam. Until then, this first glimpse offers just enough to spark the imagination while keeping the mystery intact.
