Remastered Continuation of the Storied Adventures of Adol Christin Arrives with New Gameplay Features; Now Available via Steam, Humble Store, and GOG.com
Torrance, CA, (April 28, 2015) – XSEED Games, the independent-minded console publishing brand of Marvelous USA, Inc., today announced that Ys VI: The Ark of Napishtim is now available on Windows PC via Steam, Humble Store, and GOG.com at a retail price of $19.99, €17.99, and £13.99. Previously only available in North America on the PlayStation®2 and PlayStation®Portable systems, the Windows PC version arrives packed with features that aim to modernize the original gameplay experience, including a brand new translation, the ability to warp between checkpoints, an optional “Catastrophe Mode,” and much more.
Originally the first 3D entry in Nihon Falcom’s acclaimed Ys series, Ys VI: The Ark of Napishtim delivers a storyline rich with memorable characters and themes on top of engaging hack-and-slash action RPG gameplay that would later go on to influence other Ys games, setting the foundation that series favorites Ys: The Oath in Felghana and Ys Origin were built upon. Ys VI: The Ark of Napishtim launches on Windows PC with game-changing features exclusive to this release, creating a modernized gameplay experience more in line with subsequent titles.
In addition to a brand new translation, high-resolution graphics, full USB controller support, and true widescreen gameplay, this PC version also introduces the ability to warp to any checkpoint previously encountered, as well as an optional “Catastrophe Mode” in which healing items can’t be purchased or stored and are instead used automatically on pickup. As a bonus, all copies of the game purchased through Steam and GOG.com include downloadable high-resolution art assets originally offered by Nihon Falcom through an exclusive (and very much out-of-print) Japanese fan disc.
