July 2: XSEED and Marvelous Europe now made an official announcement, confirming the western launch for early 2025. Those attending Anime Expo can go hands on at the company’s booth between July 4 and July 7.
XSEED also announced the limited, physical Ys Memoire: The Oath in Felghana Refined Edition. All copies include the game packaged with a soundtrack CD featuring 14 songs, an acrylic diorama/keychain set, a set of four postcards with art from the game, and a graphic cleaner cloth.
Here’s some information about the action RPG:
Ys Memoire: The Oath in Felghana follows thrill-seeking protagonist Adol and his blue-haired companion Dogi as they return to Dogi’s homeland of Felghana. The eight years they’ve been away have not been kind to the lands which are now filled with roaming monsters, a newly active volcano, and a greedy new overlord extorting the suffering residents. While Dogi seeks help from his former master, Adol remains to help the locals, only to find himself embroiled in a world of conspiracies and ancient legacies.
With remastered high-definition visuals and music, the epic adventure has never looked or sounded better. Additional features include multiple versions of the sweeping soundtrack, accessibility options, and brand-new character illustrations, making Ys Memoire: The Oath in Felghana the definitive edition of the acclaimed masterpiece.
Key Features
- 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.
