Dotemu shares what to expect from the game’s story:
Ys Origin joins aspiring knight Yunica Tovah and mage Hugo Fact, two fighters desperately searching for the Goddesses that have abandoned them. Together the duo must best the demonic forces lurking within an enormous tower before the beasts reach humanity’s sanctuary in the clouds. With tons of powerful loot to earn, distinct scenarios and playstyles between each character as well as secrets to unveil, Ys Origin is a deep, compelling RPG experience.
This isn’t the only Nihon Falcom Ys action on Switch lately. During New Game+ Expo, NIS America revealed that Ys IX: Monstrum Nox is heading west on Nintendo Switch and other platforms in 2021.
