Ys X: Proud Nordics Sets Western Release for February 20 on PS5, Switch 2 and PC

The release integrates new story content and systems into a definitive edition of Falcom’s action-RPG.

Overview

  • Publisher NIS America announced a February 20, 2026 launch in the West on PlayStation 5, Switch 2, and Steam.
  • Japan’s PlayStation 5 version is scheduled for February 19, 2026, following earlier 2025 launches on Switch 2 in Japan and on Switch 2 and PC in Asia.
  • Proud Nordics is presented as the definitive edition, adding the Oland Island storyline, newcomers Canute and Astrid, the Mana Hold ability, and the Muspelheim timed high-difficulty dungeon, plus visual and quality-of-life upgrades.
  • NIS America has not confirmed whether Western players can transfer save data from the original release, though save carryover was supported for the Japanese Switch 2 version.
  • The February window is crowded with other major Japanese releases, a timing observers note could challenge the game’s visibility.
