NIS America has revealed that Falcom’s action RPG Ys VIII will be heading to PS5 this Autumn.

Deluxe and Limited Editions are currently available via the NISA Europe store. These are both identical to previously released Ys VIII physical editions, aside from the difference in game versions.

haired maiden living in a curiously advanced civilization…
