Ys X Nordics Reveals New Key Art

Developer Nihon Falcom has revealed new key art for their upcoming action JRPG Ys X Nordics, showcasing the core cast in an area called the Hideout. This illustration was presented in the last weekly Famitsu issue the game appeared in, but it was covered by text and overlaying graphics.

Ys X Nordics will occur between Ys II and Memories of Celceta, making it the new third canonical entry in Adol Christin’s adventure logs. The gameplay has undergone a significant shakeup, with there only being two playable characters this time around.

Special maneuvers can be unlocked via story scenes and exploration, allowing for environmental interaction. Further, in solo mode, the character you’re not controlling performs actions judged by their own discretion. Adol will be controlling a ship for combat and island hopping, too.
