Ys X: Nordics[b] is a 2023 action role-playing game developed by Nihon Falcom. A part of the Ys series, it was released in Japan for the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and Nintendo Switch in September 2023 and is planned to be released worldwide by NIS America, including a Windows port, in late 2024.

Ys X: Nordics follows series protagonist Adol Christin who gets introduced to the seafaring warrior Karja Balta and the conflict between the Normans, her people, and unkillable monsters known as Griegr within the Obelia Bay. The game takes place chronologically between Ys II: Ancient Ys Vanished – The Final Chapter and Ys: Memories of Celceta.

Gameplay

Ys X: Nordics is an action role-playing game played from a third-person perspective.[1] It breaks away from the party system used in Ys Seven (2009), Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of Dana (2016), and Ys IX: Monstrum Nox (2019) by only featuring two playable characters.[1] The game features sailing and ship combat, a first for the series.[1]

Development

Ys X: Nordics, the tenth main entry in the Ys series, was developed by Nihon Falcom and released for the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and Nintendo Switch on September 28, 2023. A Windows port was released in Asian markets on March 14, 2024.[2] The game is planned to be released by NIS America worldwide, including for Windows, in late 2024.[2]
