Ever wake up shipwrecked on a cursed island and think, "You know what this needs? A higher frame rate"? Adol Christin has, and he's about to get his wish.
NIS America has announced that Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of DANA is landing on Nintendo Switch 2 on February 25, 2027. The Nihon Falcom action RPG is also picking up Spanish-language support for the first time with this release.
Stranded, again
The setup is classic Adol. He wakes up stranded on a cursed island, and he and the other castaways band together to form a village and look for a way off the rock. Meanwhile, Adol keeps dreaming about a mysterious blue-haired maiden. Who is she, and what secrets surround her? That's the enigma of Dana, and it's what the whole adventure circles around.
What you'll be doing
- An Epic Tale: follow Adol on his latest adventure and uncover the mysteries of the cursed island.
- Party On!: change your playable character on the fly as you battle ferocious foes in lightning-fast combat.
- Another Side: unravel the mystery of the blue-haired maiden Dana through her unique gameplay sections.

On Switch 2, you can run this action JRPG classic at up to 120 FPS. Or bring a friend along to cooperate in GameShare and save the day together, since the game supports up to two players.
