Nihon Falcom Announces Ys X: Proud Nordics

Developer Nihon Falcom has announced Ys X: Proud Nordics, an enhanced version of action RPG Ys X: Nordics. The upgrade version will release in Japan in 2025, with platforms yet to be announced.

Ys X: Proud Nordics will include new story content, a new location to explore, and other features. The new story and location see Adol and Karja explore Aland Island, a large island to the north of Obelia Bay, where they find a number of ruins and encounter another Mana user. Proud Nordics will also add new Mana Actions, new bosses, new Mana Ride races, and arena battles.

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.
