Bodily version obtainable from NIS America Retailer

Initially launched on PS Vita, Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of Dana was the then-latest chapter within the decades-long Ys journey sequence. It tells the story of a shipwrecked adventurer who finds themselves embroiled in a fated story of historical gods, primordial monsters, and, after all, the extinction of all life on the planet as we all know it. I imply, it’s a JRPG, so I’m not fairly certain what you have been anticipating.

You’ll be able to take a look at a quick overview of the story and its characters within the new trailer beneath.

Ys VIII would ultimately make its option to different platforms, arriving on PS4, PC, Nintendo Swap, and ultimately Stadia. The PS5 port is predicted to be a direct port of the PS4 version, full with all post-release updates and DLC. With regard to being an “improve” of the earlier port, there’s frankly little to enhance, because the PS4 Professional already runs Lacrimosa of Dana at 60 FPS. We will in all probability count on sooner load instances, and perhaps even some DualSense help, however not a complete lot else.

As well as, a particular Restricted Version launch is now obtainable for pre-order over on the NIS America On-line Retailer. This set accommodates a bodily copy of the sport itself in SteelBook casing, together with an artwork e-book, a reproduction journal of lead character Adol Christin, a “Seiren Music” soundtrack CD, two acrylic bookends, and a fabric poster of the Ys VIII paintings. The Restricted Version set retails for a really princely $99.99 USD.
