Ys X: Nordics Demo Released

NIS America has released a demo for Nihon Falcom’s Ys X: Nordics in North America and Europe. The demo is available on PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and Nintendo Switch, and lets players transfer their progress to the full version of the game, which launches on October 25, 2024.

Ys X: Nordics takes place between the events of Ys I & II and Ys: Memories of Celceta. It sees Adol visiting the northern sea’s Obelia Bay, where he encounters a seafaring people called the Normans. After allying with pirate Karja Balta, the two work to save the archipelago’s people from apparently immortal creatures called Griegr.  The game’s combat system allows players to take control of Adol and Karja independently or as a duo, while players can explore the seas on their ship, the Sandras, and engage in naval battles.
