Ys X: Nordics is the new game in the long-running Ys series, and has Adol adventuring with the pirate Karja. It’s promising exploration and combat on the high seas, unique exploration and traversal on land, and an action-RPG battle system in which you can switch between Adol and Karja and combine their abilities.
Ys X: Nordics is out now for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch, and PC, and there’s a playable demo that is, from what I’m seeing, quite long. Check out the launch trailer below:
Embark on a high seas adventure rich with action and exploration in Ys X: Nordics! Experience the perils of Obelia Gulf through the eyes of Adol Christin and his unexpected ally, the pirate Karja Balta, as they help save the people of the gulf from the mysterious immortal monsters known as the Griegr.
