Falcom’s Ys 10: Nordics is getting an enhanced edition next year in Japan with Ys 10: Proud Nordics. A press release (translated via DeepL) confirmed it includes a new story on the new Aland Island, available during the main story.
As Adol and Karja explore, they’ll encounter various ruins, run into a new Mana user, and leverage a new Mana Action. Aland Island offers a “vast” map and exploration areas with new bosses, Mana Ride races, and even arenas where you can battle “deadly enemies.” Further details are still to come, including its platforms and pricing. It’s also unknown if it will simultaneously launch in North America and Europe.
As for Ys 10: Nordics, it’s available for PS4, PS5, Nintendo Switch, and PC. Alongside new combat mechanics like the Cross Action system, where players can execute simultaneous attacks with both characters, it introduces sailing and Mana Actions like grappling and surfing. Check out our review here, where we gave it a seven out of 10.
