NIS America also uploaded a story trailer for Ys VIII on PS5 to promote the release.
The story trailer shows off the graphics as seen in Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of Dana for PS5. Environmental and character models remain largely the same as seen in earlier releases of the game. The story is also unchanged. Longtime Ys protagonist Adol Christin is shipwrecked on the cursed Isle of Seiren, after his passenger ship is sunk. He’s also haunted by dreams from the past, of a mysterious girl named Dana Iclucia. Adol must survive the island’s dangers, as well as explore the mystery behind the stranding of both Adol and his fellow castaways.
Other than PS5, Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of Dana is available on numerous platforms. It originally released on the PS Vita in 2016 in Japan, and made its way to the PS4, Nintendo Switch, PC, and even Google Stadia. Mobile ports are also in the works.
Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of Dana comes to PS5 in November 2022. It is available on the PS4, Switch, PC and Google Stadia.
