We’ve got some breaking news to share with action RPG fans. At Falcom’s annual meeting of shareholders today, the company announced Ys X: Nordics<\/a><\/strong> would be coming to the Nintendo Switch in Japan next year (thanks, Gematsu).<\/p>\n

Ys X: Nordics will celebrate the 35th anniversary of the series. It takes place in the northern sea Obelia Bay, made up of countless islands “big and small”, and stars the young adventurer Adol Christin as the game’s protagonist. Here’s some additional PR:<\/p>\n

\n

After completing his adventures in the Ancient Kingdom of Ys, young adventurer Adol Christin encounters a maritime people known as \u201cNormans\u201d in this new land. Who are they? And who are the \u201cGriegers,\u201d immortal undead who attack humans\u2026?<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

The battle system used up until Ys IX: Monstrum Nox<\/em> has been drastically revamped! The new \u201cCross Action\u201d system allows the player to fight using two modes according the situation. In the speedy \u201cSolo Mode,\u201d the player controls one character with the help of automatic attacks and support from their partner. In \u201cCombination Mode,\u201d the player can simultaneously control a series of actions for both characters to take on formidable foes in back-and-forth combat.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

Additionally, Ys X: Nordics<\/em> allows you to control a ship for the first time in the series. Explore vast oceans using sea maps as your guide and engage in naval battles against enemy ships in this new feature that adds to \u201cthe joy of adventure\u201d that the series is known for. Other new systems include the special ability \u201cMana Action,\u201d which significantly expands the degree of freedom on fields and in dungeons.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
