After releasing on the PlayStation Vita, PlayStation 4, PC, and Nintendo Switch, Ys VIII returns on the PlayStation 5. It’s surprising how much multiple console releases this game is receiving. Especially having to re-do localization after its initial launch on the Vita and PlayStation 4. Additionally with the PlayStation 5 backwards compatible with PlayStation 4 games, there isn’t enough information what’s updated. Sure it’ll be in 4K resolution at 60fps but is it worth it? For those who missed the boat (no pun attended), it’s another opportunity to ride along this classic RPG.
Ys VIII will also receive a limited edition set for PlayStation 5 players. Another chance for those who didn’t grab earlier console versions. This bundle includes the following:
- Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of DANA Deluxe Edition for the PS5
- “Art Collection” Softcover Art Book
- “The Journal of Adol Christin” Hardcover Book
- Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of DANA “Seiren Songs”
- Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of DANA Acrylic Bookends
- Adol and Dana Cloth Poster ( 24″ x 17″)
- Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of DANA Steelbook
- Collector’s Box
The limited edition set comes at a price tag for $99.99 USD. Ys VIII releases on the PlayStation 5 in fall 2022.
