This year’s shorter Celebrating All Things Romantic event is at an end, the contest winners have been contacted, and now we have some news to catch up on.
Earlier this week, NIS America announced that Ys X: Nordics will be coming west this fall for Switch, PS4, PS5, and PC, with both English and French translations.
A Limited Edition will also be available, although preorders aren’t up yet.
We talked about Ys X when it was first announced over a year ago, and I’m even more excited for it now than I was then. It looks great!
I’m a little surprised NISA announced this on a random day instead of saving it for a showcase, but maybe they have other things in store.
My history with the Ys series has been odd. I started with Ys I, came back six years later to restart it and finally finish, and then played Ys IX. I keep intending to play Ys II, but who knows if I’ll have gotten there by the time Ys X comes out. Either way, I’m looking forward to it!
Are you interested in Ys X?
Also, how did you feel about Celebrating All Things Romantic 2024 only running until the 14th? I thought it worked out well, but I’d like to hear your thoughts.
I thought it was fine to have a condensed All Things Romance… There are so many games to play, and it feels like a lot of the romance ones are shorter indie games anyway.
Interesting, one of my secondary motivations for condensing it was actually the opposite – that unlike horror games, where it’s easy to find a whole bunch of shorter ones, so many romance games are 20+ hours that I was running out of short ones to fit in, haha.
