TOKYO, Japan, December 21, 2024 – Fans of Falcom RPG franchises are right to celebrate as the publisher / games refined and developer Nihon Falcom announced that the cross fighting game Ys vs. Routes in the sky: Alternative Saga will be released worldwide in 2025. The title, which marks the first time that the game will be officially available in the west, will be launched in PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch and PC via Steam, Epic Games Store and GOG.
The announcement came more than a decade after the game was first released for PlayStation Portable in Japan on July 29, 2010. Despite its popularity among Falcom enthusiasts, a western location of the game has never materialized until now. According to Gematsu, fans can now list the game at the PlayStation Store in anticipation of its release.
Break bars between the beloved series
Yeah vs. Trails in the Sky: Alternative Saga promises to join the worlds of two of Falcom’s most famous RPG series, Ys and Trails in the Sky, in a new high-speed cross-struggle experience. According to the official page of the game shop, this title combines hero and rival fans – favorites of both series, creating matches previously deemed impossible. The game is designed to seduce newcomers and veterans, offering new challenges as well as nostalgic content for long-term fans.
One of the main features of the game is the improvement of its combat mechanics, which is based on the rapid combat introduced into Ys SEVEN. The ability to jump adds new layers of strategy, allowing players to cross an extended battlefield and trigger dynamic combos. The characters of Trails in the Sky will bring their artisanal signatures at stake, offering family but innovative attacks that add depth to battles.
Top game and features
As indicated in the store pages, the remastered edition of the game is built to offer an immersive experience, with HD and 4K graphics with support for 60 images per second. This updated version also marks the first time that the game will include both the sofa and the online multiplayer mode, allowing friends to compete or join anywhere in the world.
Another important addition is the inclusion of the English voice, with a casting from the existing Ys and Trails series. The full voice is supposed to act to raise battles and cuts, leading history to life with great drama and emotion. Fans can also expect a collection of expansive material, including wallpapers and soundtracks of various Falcom titles, which can be unlocked as players progress in the game.
PC- Central Improvements
For PC players, Ys vs. Sky Routes: Alternative Saga offers a range of features adapted to modern game settings. According to the official announcement, the PC version will support mouse and keyboard controls, several appearance reports (including 5: 4 and 21: 9), and other optimizations to ensure a perfect experience. These additions are designed to meet the growing audience of PC players who appreciate personalization and flexibility in their gaming environment.
A dream game for Falcom fans
Falcom is known for its rich and memorable narrative characters, and this game seeks to capitalize on these forces. The title has a list of playable and supporting characters of all Ys and Trails franchises, ensuring fans will find formidable faces and enemies. According to the developers, the support of the characters plays a crucial role in battles, providing strategic assistance that can convert the battle tide.
Players can expect the full spectrum of Falcom’s narrative magic, stimulated by a stellar distribution of vocal actors. With each scene completely expressed, narrative and battles are designed to offer an experience that feels both kinematic and deeply appealing.
Until 2025
Ys vs. Routes in the sky: Alternative Saga is ready to bring a beloved but previously inaccessible game to a new audience.
