NIS America and Falcom made the long overdue announcement of Ys X: Nordics for the West. They have now followed up on this at the Anime Expo 2024 in Los Angeles.
The new Ys game is scheduled to be released in the West on October 25th for Nintendo Switch, PS4 and PS5, and a new PC version is available for Steam, Epic Games Store and GOG. You can see a new trailer below.
As always with NISA releases, there will be a limited edition available exclusively in the NISA Europe Store. In addition, a deluxe edition with additional content is available in the open market at the normal price. You can already find it on Amazon *.
There is English and Japanese voice acting as well as English and French texts. Ys X: Nordics has been available in Japan since September 2023. The term “Nordics” in the game title refers to the paraphrase “people of the north”.
The action begins after the events of Ys I and II. The protagonist Adol in this spin-off is 17 years old and is on his way to Celceta. In the game you meet your unexpected ally, the pirate Karja Balta.
