Following the game’s release on both PlayStation 2 and PlayStation Portable systems many years ago, XSEED Games have confirmed that Ys VI: The Ark of Napishtim will be available for PC gamers worldwide starting April 28th 2015. This enhanced edition of Nihon Falcom’s classic RPG will be available via Steam, GOG.com and Humble Store powered by Humble Bundle digital download services at a price of $19.99, €17.99, and £13.99. Those looking to immediately jump into the adventure of Adol Christin and his loyal companion Dogi will be able to take advantage of a launch week discount of 15%.
Some of the new PC-exclusive enhancements introduced in this edition include: the ability to warp between checkpoints, higher-resolution graphics, full USB controller support, widescreen gameplay and an optional ‘Catastrophe Mode’ which removes the ability to purchase healing items and any items picked-up will be auto-use.
