NIS America and Nihon Falcom have announced that Ys X: Nordics will be released on Nintendo Switch later this year.
Promising to let you explore “a boundless sea of adventure and discovery,” young red-haired adventurer Adol Christin and his unlikely ally, the pirate Karja Balta, must learn to work together to save the people of the Obelia Gulf.
Bound by fate – and the mysterious power of Mana – Adol and Karja must search for a way to undo the mystical ties that bind them. They soon find themselves caught up in a conflict between two factions: seafaring warriors known as the Normans and the seemingly immortal Griegers.
The publisher has outlined the game’s key features, which include:
- Two Heroes, One Story: Bound by unexpected circumstances, the young adventurer Adol and the Norman pirate Karja must work together to determine the fate of Obelia Gulf and its people.
- Cross Action System: Swap between controlling Adol and Karja independently or together. Combine their unique strengths to overcome enemies, and build up the Revenge Gauge to unleash devastating attacks.
- The Power of Mana: Harness the unique abilities of Mana to overcome challenges. Grapple and slide through dungeons, demolish obstacles, create new platforms, and uncover hidden treasures and critical points.
- Sailor’s Delight: The sailing ship known as the Sandras takes your exploration to new levels. Ocean travel, naval battles, and discovering uncharted islands are all made possible with this seaworthy vessel.
Ys X: Nordics will be released at retail and digitally on the Nintendo eShop for Nintendo Switch worldwide in Fall 2024.
