RPG fans have another game to look forward to, as the latest sequel of a long-running franchise has been confirmed for release worldwide. After launching the game in Japan this past September, Falcom and NIS have confirmed that Ys X: Nordics–the latest entry in the RPG franchise–is coming to Western shores this fall.
Ys X is set one month after the events of Ys II–which originally launched in 1988–and it serves as the third game in the franchise’s timeline. The game will follow the returning hero from every Ys game, Adol, as he teams with a new female protagonist, Karja, and meets a nomadic tribe of sailors called the Normans.
NIS has unveiled a brief announcement trailer for Ys X’s Western version, which confirmed the Fall 2024 release window. The video highlights the game’s traversal, naval combat, and shows off a a few of Adol and Karja’s moves in combat.
The Ys franchise began in 1987, when the original game–which was named Ys I: Ancient Ys Vanished: Omen in Japan–launched on Japanese PC-88 home computers before making its way to the NES. The previous entry, Ys IX: Monstrum Nox, launched for PS4 in Japan in 2019 before being ported to the West in 2020.
Ys X: Nordics is scheduled to launch later this year for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, and PC.
