Marvelous Europe and XSEED Games has confirmed that Ys Memoire: The Oath in Felghana, a remastered version of the action RPG by developer Nihon Falcom, will release digitally on 7 January 2025 for the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, and PlayStation 4. Physical editions will be available for both the Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 5 through select retailers. Pre-orders for the digital version on Nintendo Switch are currently live on the Nintendo eShop for €29.99, with digital PlayStation releases available upon launch.
In this remastered instalment of the Ys series, players join protagonist Adol and his companion Dogi as they revisit Dogi’s homeland, Felghana. Upon their return, they find the land facing new threats, with roaming monsters, a dangerously active volcano, and an oppressive overlord exploiting the people. As Adol stays to assist the locals, he uncovers conspiracies and ancient legacies entwined with Felghana’s troubled history.
For this release, players can expect high-definition remastered visuals and music, along with new gameplay features. The title will include English and Japanese voice-over options, enhancing accessibility and immersion for fans of the series.
Promoted features of Ys Memoire: The Oath in Felghana include:
Classic RPG Excitement Remastered: Experience the old-school action RPG combat the Ys series is known for, with added difficulty options and quality-of-life enhancements like “Turbo” mode, as you fight your way through a memorable fantasy world.
Refined Visual Variety: Ys Memoire features all-new “Refined” character illustrations throughout the game, but players who want the original experience can switch to the “Classic” versions at a whim.
A Silent Protagonist No Longer: Newly recorded voice acting for Adol Christin, including an opening narration that sets the stage for adventure, gives new depth and gravitas to the famous hero.
A Sweeping Soundtrack Reborn: Well-regarded for its outstanding soundtrack, this version features three different iterations of the epic score (Original, PC-8801, and X68000) for players to choose from, all remastered in high-quality audio.
