NIS America has announced that Ys X: Proud Nordics will launch outside of Japan on Nintendo Switch 2 and PC sometime in early 2026. It first launched exclusively in Japan for Nintendo Switch 2 this past July 31, 2025.

Ys X: Proud Nordics is the " definitive edition " of Ys X: Nordics, according to NIS America, which launched last October outside Japan . The most recent Ys release was Ys Memoire: The Oath in Felghana, which arrived earlier this year.

Ys X: Proud Nordics follows Adol, accompanied by Norman Karja, standing against an undying force called the Griegr. It's then up to Adol and Karja to bring a group of adventurers together to defeat the Griegr, and save the Obelia Gulf.

Proud Nordics will also launch with " improved graphical performance and quality of life updates ," and include " new mechanics and content" not previously available in the original version of the game from last October.

When Wccftech's Francesco De Meo reviewed Ys X: Nordics last October, he called it " one more memorable adventure " in the long-running series.

" While some of the changes made to the formula the series employed for 15 years may not sound too exciting on paper, they come together really well in Ys X Nordics, making it the first proper step forward for the franchise in quite a while. The increased focus on the narrative may put some long-time fans of the series off, as may the slight increase in complexity of its system, but if they manage to look past these non-issues, they will find an extremely solid ARPG and a worthy continuation of the long-running series by Falcom."
