The action RPG Ys X:Nordics returns to Steam® with a massive upgrade—introducing new story content, new adventure areas, and a host of new features in Ys X: Proud Nordics! ［Game Overview］ The massive island of Öland, located in the northern reaches of Obelia Bay. As the battle against the immortal undead known as the Griegr continues, Adol the red-haired adventurer and Karja the pirate princess encounter a host of ancient ruins deep within the island’s uncharted wilderness. What happened on this mysterious island? A fateful meeting with another Mana user sets Adol and Karja on an all-new adventure into the unknown. In addition to their exhilarating Cross Action combat, this enhanced edition introduces new Mana Actions, an expanded map of Öland Island with new exploration areas, and more! Face off against new bosses, race through Mana Ride challenges, and test your skills in the Arena, where fearsome foes await—now with even more content for players to dive into! ［Featured Characters］ ■Adol Christin He's the main character of the story, a vibrant adventurer with fiery red hair and eyes full of curiosity. Adol left his first adventure land, Esteria, at age 17 and was believed to have set off for Celceta. However, according to one of the adventure logs found in his family home, it's revealed that he had visited Obelia Bay with the former thief Dogi before heading to Celceta. ■Karja Balta The sole daughter of Grimmson, the leader of the Baltan Navy. Karja leads the rough seafarers in piracy with confidence, earning her the moniker 'Pirate Princess' among the people of Karnack who have seen her in action. While she possesses elegant features, she is armed with a hatchet and a round shield, displaying a ruthless, Norman fighting style. ［New Characters］ ■Canute Gamley A sharp-featured young man from the Kingdom of Danmorc, Canute always seems listless and hard to pin down. Despite his laid-back demeanor, he’s a first-rate warrior known as “Canute the Bloodshedder.” He’s also the son of Sver, the ruler of Danmorc, who is currently invading the Seven Kingdoms of Britai. He once fought alongside his cousin Karja during a campaign in Britai. A brilliant tactician, he once saved the outnumbered Norman forces by devising a strategy that turned the tide of battle. Still, Karja has an inexplicable aversion to him. ■Astrid Zayren A female Norman who serves as Canute’s Shield Sister and also his second-in-command. Though she does not possess the power of Mana, she has sharp instincts and excels at logistical support. Cheerful and friendly, she speaks to Adol and Karja with an open heart, but is often curt toward Canute likely due to frequently having to deal with his difficult behavior. ［New Story Content］ ■The Uncharted Island of Öland Still on their mission to hunt down the undead Griegr, Adol and Karja continue exploring Obelia Bay aboard the sailing ship Sandras. Their journey leads them to the largest island in Obelia Bay—Öland Island—where they encounter the Shield Siblings, Canute and Astrid, visitors from the Kingdom of Danmorc. Why have the Normans, who supposedly hold a non-aggression pact with the Balta Navy, chosen this moment to appear in Obelia Bay? And what secrets lie hidden on this island, where Balta Navy leader Grimson once conducted a mysterious investigation? Through the eyes of two pairs of Shield Siblings, this new story arc delves deeper into the origins of the Normans and the mysterious power known as Mana. ［Ultimate Endgame Content］ ■Divine Realm: Muspelheim—The Most Challenging Dungeon Yet! Take on the extreme-difficulty dungeon known as Divine Realm: Muspelheim! Not only is your time in this divine realm strictly limited, but you’ll also face deadly traps and powerful foes.
