NIS America to publish Ys X: Proud Nordics for Windows & Nintendo Switch 2
NIS America will publish action role-playing game Ys X: Proud Nordics in 2026, available for Windows through Steam and Nintendo Switch 2.

The expanded release incorporates improved graphical performance and quality of life updates. Additional content exclusive to Proud Nordics includes the Öland Island territory, the Muspelheim dungeon, and the Mana String action for swinging to faraway areas.

The story takes place following the events of Ys II: Ancient Ys Vanished. Protagonist Adol travels to Obelia Bay and encounters a dispute between two powerful warring factions. In battle, players can swap between controlling Adol and the infamous pirate princess Karja Balta on the fly. Activating "combination mode," both Adol and Karja's attacks can be guided at the same time.

Ys X: Nordics is currently available for Nintendo Switch, PS4 and PlayStation 5 consoles, along with Windows through Steam, GOG, and the Epic Games Store. Nihon Falcom's Original Soundtrack is streaming on YouTube Music, Spotify, and Amazon Music Unlimited.
