Nihon Falcom announced on Friday that Ys Memoire: Felghana no Chikai, the Nintendo Switch remaster of Nihon Falcom’s Ys: The Oath in Felghana game is set to launch for PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4 in Japan on May 23.

Originally, the action RPG debuted for Nintendo Switch in Japan in April 2023.

Ys: The Oath in Felghana, the game that serves as the basis for this remaster, was first released for PC in Japan in June 2005. Later, it arrived on PlayStation Portable in 2010, with XSEED Games providing an English version for PSP in the same year and for PC in 2012. XSEED’s description of the game outlines the storyline:

Fresh off a whirlwind tour of adventure, Ys: The Oath in Felghana opens with Ys series heroes Adol and Dogi as they make an unannounced visit to Dogi’s hometown of Redmont in the land of Felghana. It quickly becomes apparent that things have changed dramatically since Dogi left years earlier.

Hordes of violent monsters roam the outskirts of town, a long-dormant volcano has suddenly become active again, and the new lord of the land has been taxing the citizens heavily.

As Adol and Dogi begin to search for the sources of Felghana’s recent struggles, each clue found leads them closer to the disturbing conclusion that these events are all somehow linked, and it is only they who can save Felghana.

Notably, Ys: The Oath in Felghana is itself a remake of Ys III: Wanderers from Ys, initially released in 1989.
