Here, players can now explore the gulf’s largest landmass: Öland Island. Here, Adol and Karja meet Canute and Astrid, a duo from the Kingdom of Danmerk, an encounter that will uncover the origins of the islands’ people and the power they call Mana.

Ys X: Proud Nordics carries over the original game’s action system with the option to swap between two modes: Solo and Duo. Solo Mode lets players control either Adol or Karja in combat individually. In Duo Mode, both Adol and Karja can be controlled simultaneously as one unit.

Ys X: Proud Nordics continues the series’ iconic action RPG gameplay experience with the introduction of two interswappable modes: Solo and Duo. In Solo Mode, players can switch between Adol and Karja and use their unique skills.

Duo Mode partners up both Adol and Karja as one unit, letting players use a different set of skills when they’re together. Duo Skills, as they are called, can be further strengthened via mastery and the Revenge Gauge.

In Ys X: Proud Nordics, a new dungeon called Muspelheim will be available to players looking for a challenge. This dungeon will have a time limit, various traps, and incredibly powerful opponents.
