Ys X Nordics PS5 Gameplay Showcase Announced for Next Week

Developer Nihon Falcom and Dengeki have announced that an Ys X Nordics PlayStation 5 gameplay showcase will occur via a broadcast from the latter’s YouTube channel on July 28, 2023, at 3 AM PT/ 6 AM ET.

While specifics of what would be shown weren’t stated, fans can anticipate live gameplay highlighting the title’s performance on the most powerful console it will be available on. Further, new information on Falcom merchandise will be presented.

Other titles will also be present in the stream, including the Love Live! action game Yohane the Parhelion: BLAZE in the DEEPBLUE.

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.
