NIS America will publish the latest game in the Ys series, Ys X: Nordics, this autumn / fall in the west. The action RPG originally launched last September in Japan, and a localisation announcement has been on the cards ever since.

Nordics features recurring Ys protagonist Adol Christin, but this time around, he shares the spotlight with a young warrior named Karja. The game's fast-paced combat system revolves around the two heroes as they fight side by side. What's more, this is something of a seafaring adventure, as Adol is able to take to the water aboard his own ship; naval battles and island-hopping exploration await.

Ys X isn't the only Falcom title NIS America will be releasing this year. The first game in the new Trails saga, Trails through Daybreak, is set for the summer, also on PS5 and PS4. It's turning into a busy year for fans of Japanese RPGs!
