Ys VI: Ark of the Napishtim
XSeed is bringing an enhanced version of Ys VI: Ark of the Napishtim to Steam, The Humble Store, and GOG this spring. Considering Ys VI has been unavailable since Konami’s PlayStation 2 and PSP ports in 2005 and 2006, this is a great opportunity to experience the game that helped shape Ys: Origin and Ys: The Oath in Felghana.
In addition to the high-resolution graphics and full USB controller support, brand new features have been added to the western release including full widescreen support, the ability to warp between checkpoints, and a brand new difficulty setting called Catastrophe Mode. The extra hard difficulty setting makes it impossible to pick up and store healing items because they are now immediately used when collected.
You can check out the announcement trailer for the PC release of Ys VI above.
