Il nuovo Ys, che dovrebbe collocarsi come linea temporale tra il 5° e 6° capitolo della serie, uscirà nel 2015 su PS4 e Vita:


Ys announced for PS4, PS Vita
Action RPG coming to PlayStation in 2015.



The next title in the Ys series is coming to PlayStation 4 and PS Vita, Falcom announced during Sony Computer Entertainment Japan Asia’s press conference this morning.

The game is set in the “Goethe Sea,” an archipelago of South Gria. Playing as Adol Christin, players will experience a new story in a land buried under the sea and forgotten by the people.

Falcom plans to take advantage of PlayStation 4 in producing the game’s rich colors and vast world in high-definition.

Ys is due out in Japan next year.

The game’s story is expected to take place just before Ys Seven, at some point between Ys V: Lost Kefin, Kingdom of Sand and Ys VI: The Ark of Napishtim.

The setting is the “Goethe Sea,” an archipelago of South Gria. As such, there is a strong sense of the sea in the game’s overall image.

New elements and systems will also be added. And characters from previous Ys games will appear, as well.

Falcom president Toshihiro Kondo describes PlayStation 4 development as trial-and-error, but adds that the staff is very highly motivated. The team hopes to implement PlayStation 4 Share functions and such.
