NIS America is bringing Ys X: Proud Nordics to Switch 2 in the West in early 2026, the writer has announced. But, like its other Switch 2 releases in Disgaea 7 Complete and Trails Beyond the Horizon, it’ll be a Game-Key Card (as per the store itemizing).
Now, if you’re confused and considering that Ys X is already out on Switch, you’re not fallacious — this is an expanded model of the 2023 (2024 in the West) motion RPG. Proud Nordics has been out in Japan since twenty fifth July, so we won’t have to wait too long.
As effectively as being a Switch 2 release, which means there will be a bump in efficiency and visuals, Proud Nordics provides extra quality-of-life enhancements, new mechanics, and new challenges.
But the greatest draw is Öland Island, a model new map that “seamlessly” provides in new story components to the sport. So it’s a much more expanded rerelease than just a ‘bump’, from the sounds of it.
Here’s a rundown of the sport from NIS:
Experience Adol and Karja’s unforgettable journey across Obelia Gulf with new high quality of life enhancements, then uncover the new story centering around Öland Island, and the mysterious newcomers Canute and Astrid. And once you’re prepared, problem yourself in the devious, time-trial dungeon of Muspelheim, where every second counts. Your new journey awaits!
As the definitive version of this critically acclaimed entry in the Ys collection, Ys X: Proud Nordics presents all of the fast-paced fight and enthralling narrative of the unique release, with new mechanics, a high-difficulty dungeon, and a brand-new storyline seamlessly built-in all through the sport.
After a tense encounter at sea, the younger red-haired adventurer Adol and the proud Norman Karja discover themselves sure collectively by shackles of Mana, and by the looming menace of an timeless horde identified as the Griegr, who search to pillage the vibrant Obelia Gulf. Aboard their ship, the Sandras, Adol and Karja collect a trusty crew of mates and allies as they go head-to-head with the Griegr in one unforgettable journey!
We were followers of the unique Switch model, despite some points with the crusing — and we’ve seen online from those who’ve performed the Japanese release that the boat mechanics have been tweaked in Proud Nordics. So if you have not yet picked up the sport on Switch, possibly maintain out for this one.
