NIS America announced that Ys X: Proud Nordics, an enhanced version of Nihon Falcom’s Ys X: Nordics will release in the west on February 20, 2025. It will be available on PC, Nintendo Switch 2, and PlayStation 5. The Proud Nordics version includes new content set around the added Öland Island and adds new major characters Canute and Astrid.

Ys X: Nordics released for PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and Nintendo Switch in 2024. The game 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 the 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.
