Ys X: Proud Nordics will launch in 2025 in Japan as a significantly upgraded version of the action RPG Ys X: Nordics, featuring a new story, new settings for adventure, and numerous new elements.
Aland Island is a massive island located to the north of Obelia Gulf. In the midst of battling the immortal creatures known as Griegr, the red-haired adventurer Adol and the pirate princess Karja visit the island and encounter countless ruins on its unexplored lands.
What happened on this island…?
An encounter with another “Mana user” leads Adol and his companions on an unknown adventure…
In addition to the exhilarating offensive and defensive “Cross Actions” between Adol and Karja, Ys X: Proud Nordics introduces new “Mana Actions” along with a vast map of Aland Island and exploration areas! There is also plenty of additional content, including new bosses, Mana Ride races, and arena battles where formidable foes await.
