Torrance, Calif., (September 7, 2010) – XSEED Games, an independent-minded publisher, today announced the Limited Edition version of their upcoming title, Ys: The Oath in Felghana, for the PSP® (PlayStation®Portable) system, which will compliment the standard packaged game. In preparation for the release, fans who pre-order from participating nationwide retailers will be able to reserve a copy of the Limited Edition which will contain a soundtrack CD and a 4-inch by 6-inch 2011 desktop calendar highlighting artwork from the game. Ys: The Oath in Felghana is the next installment in the popular Ys series from renown developer Nihon Falcom that is being delivered to fans in North America under a multi-title partnership with XSEED Games. Both versions of Ys: The Oath in Felghana are scheduled for release later this year.
“The response we’ve seen from fans here of the Ys series, starting with the release of Ys SEVEN and now the anticipation for Ys: The Oath in Felghana, has been extremely exciting and rewarding for us,” said Jun Iwasaki, President of XSEED Games. “For this reason, we are extending our gratitude by offering this special collector’s package, which reflects fan input on first wanting another Limited Edition in the series and then the kind of content they like to see included. This is the definitive version of Ys: The Oath in Felghana as its offering is a must-have for any fan of the Ys series and action RPGs.”
Ys: The Oath in Felghana once again follows the adventures of friends Adol and Dogi who find themselves making an unannounced visit to Dogi’s hometown of Redmont in the land of Felghana. Since his departure eight years earlier, Dogi finds himself returning home to find that things have changed dramatically, and not for the better. Hordes of violent monsters roam the outskirts of town, there are unsettling rumors of a long-dormant volcano suddenly becoming active again, and the newly-appointed lord of the land has been taxing the citizens heavily, while also depriving them of their right to mine for precious ores – a staple resource of the economy for generations. As Adol and Dogi begin to search for the sources of Felghana’s recent struggles, they find that each clue leads them further towards the shocking conclusion that these events are all somehow linked. The closer they get to the truth, the higher the stakes are, as the consequences of their actions affect not just Felghana, but possibly the entire world.
Ys: The Oath in Felghana, developed by Nihon Falcom, is scheduled for release exclusively on the PSP system later this year. The standard version will carry a suggested retail price of $29.99 while the Limited Edition version will carry a suggested retail price of $39.99.
