Publisher NIS America has announced a western release for Ys X: Proud Nordics, their upgraded version of Ys X: Nordics.
Ys X: Proud Nordics is coming west sometime in early 2026 for Windows PC (via Steam, GOG, and the Epic Games Store), and Switch 2.
The latest in their flagship RPG series was previously released for Japan back in July for Switch 2, and for Asia today on both PC (via Steam) and Switch 2.
Here’s a rundown on the game, plus a new trailer:
As the definitive edition of this critically acclaimed entry in the Ys series, Ys X: Proud Nordics offers all of the fast-paced combat and enthralling narrative of the original release, with new mechanics, a high-difficulty dungeon, and a brand-new storyline seamlessly integrated throughout the game.
After a tense encounter at sea, the young red-haired adventurer Adol and the proud Norman Karja find themselves bound together by shackles of Mana, and by the looming threat of an undying horde known as the Griegr, who seek to pillage the vibrant Obelia Gulf. Aboard their ship, the Sandras, Adol and Karja gather a trusty crew of friends and allies as they go head-to-head with the Griegr in one unforgettable journey!
