Ys X Nordics Confirms Time Attack & Boss Rush; Post-Launch DLC

Ryokutya2089 has shared new Ys X Nordics information from the latest Famitsu issue releasing today. The news this time isn’t overly significant, but Time Attack and Boss Rush have been confirmed to be in the game. Previous entries have had this, so this isn’t all that surprising.

Additionally, several pieces of DLC content have also been announced, potentially comprising cosmetics.

You can view the translated list from Ryokuyta below via our team’s Ryuji. We’ll update our coverage once Falcom announces further information.

Ys X Nordics will occur between Ys II and Memories of Celceta, making it the new third canonical entry in Adol Christin’s adventure logs. The gameplay has undergone a significant shakeup, with there only being two playable characters this time around.

Special maneuvers can be unlocked via story scenes and exploration, allowing for environmental interaction. Further, in solo mode, the character you’re not controlling performs actions judged by their own discretion. Adol will be controlling a ship for combat and island hopping, too.

Unused Ys Seven concepts are being utilized in this outing, too. Ys X Nordics will allow players considerable explorative freedom, enabling naval travel with a recruitable crew and ship combat.
