Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of Dana was announced to be receiving a native PlayStation 5 release later this Fall.

This entry kickstarted the series’ popularity in the West during its initial Vita and PS4 release. It contains a memorable narrative, addictive combat, a stellar soundtrack, multiple difficulty levels, a plethora of side content, and much more. It’s a definite must-play, and if you have a PS5, you should be on the lookout for it when it launches later this year. View our coverage regarding its new inclusions.
