Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of Dana, first announced for PlayStation 4 and PS Vita at Sony Computer Entertainment Japan’s pre-Tokyo Game Show 2014 press conference, will launch in Japan during summer 2016, Falcom announced during a general meeting of stockholders today.
The game is set on “Sirens Island,” an archipelago of “South Gria” in the “Goethe Sea.” Players can use free dash and jump actions in a variety of attack skills, and the game features automatic mapping, a “Drifting Village” base you can develop by gathering castaways, “Counter-Attack Battles” where you can defend the residential area with castaways (other than Adol), and a number of other new elements.
