Trailer previews new speaking voice for main character Adol
XSEED Games announced on Tuesday that it will release Nihon Falcom’s remastered Ys: The Oath in Felghana game for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, and PlayStation 4 in the West in early 2025. The company streamed an English trailer, which previews a new speaking voice for the main character Adol:
Marvelous USA and XSEED Games will feature the game playable at their booth at Anime Expo in Los Angeles from July 4-7.
The companies will release a “Refined Edition” for the Switch and PS5 versions that includes an acrylic keychain/diorama set, a 4-postcard set, compilation soundtrack CD, and microfiber cloth.
The action RPG launched for Nintendo Switch in Japan in April 2023.
Nihon Falcom first released Ys: The Oath in Felghana for PC in Japan in June 2005, and then for PlayStation Portable in 2010. XSEED Games released an English version on PSP in 2010 and then for PC in 2012. XSEED describes the game:
Fresh off a whirlwind tour of adventure, Ys: The Oath in Felghana opens with Ys series heroes Adol and Dogi as they make an unannounced visit to Dogi’s hometown of Redmont in the land of Felghana. It quickly becomes apparent that things have changed dramatically since Dogi left years earlier. Hordes of violent monsters roam the outskirts of town, a long-dormant volcano has suddenly become active again, and the new lord of the land has been taxing the citizens heavily. As Adol and Dogi begin to search for the sources of Felghana’s recent struggles, each clue found leads them closer to the disturbing conclusion that these events are all somehow linked, and it is only they who can save Felghana.
Ys: The Oath in Felghana is itself a remake of Ys III: Wanderers from Ys, the third game in the franchise. The game was originally released in 1989.
