Dotemu announced on Tuesday that it will release Nihon Falcom's Ys Origin game for the Nintendo Switch this year. The company began streaming an announcement trailer for the release.

Dotemu describes the game as "the action RPG saga's inaugural quest in which humanity flees a demon horde's relentless pursuit." Limited Run Games will offer two physical versions in North America, and a digital version will also be available. The Collector's Edition will bundle a soundtrack, artbook, and reversible poster.

This look like a nice anime themed action RPG game.

Most of their games are super below the radar, especially if they’re tied to the ancient entries that few have played.

I've been seeing that, which is a shame.

Tbh you're not missing much with Ys 1&2, and those are the only ones actually tied together. Tbh I'm even sure why Origins needs to exist, as it's a prequel to those two. It's like making a prequel to FF1, it's like... why?

The bump system is really strange to use. I’d say they’re mostly a curiosity piece like a lot of early JRPG’s. It’s got the plague a lot of those early JRPG’s have of “you gotta grind a ton before you can get anything done”.

I really don't have time for grinding these days.
