Developer Nihon Falcom has announced that their action JRPG Ys X Nordics will launch in Japan for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and Nintendo Switch on September 28, 2023.
Ys X Nordics will occur between Ys II and Memories of Celceta, making it the new third canonical entry in Adol Christin’s adventure logs.
The gameplay has undergone a significant shakeup, with there only being two playable characters this time around, reports Anime News Network.
Special manoeuvres can be unlocked via story scenes and exploration, allowing for environmental interaction. Further, in solo mode, the character you’re not controlling performs actions judged by their own discretion.
A Famitsu info drop shared an interview from Kondo, new in-game screenshots, renders, and more. The voice actress for Carja is confirmed to be Lynn.
Unused Ys Seven concepts are being utilized in this outing, too. Ys X Nordics will allow players considerable explorative freedom, enabling naval travel with a recruitable crew and ship combat.
