Who will you be? A powerful Afrocan fighter? A wise Kimo or a skillful Eresian? Join a story that started 22 years ago and defeat the hordes of evil creatures invading the mystical Romune Empire, from seaport Lutino to Peruzard. You won’t be alone to follow the steps of Grey the Brave Hero and many battles await you.

Starting now, you can register your interest in taking part in the Ys 2nd Closed Beta. The keys to test the game are limited and are restricted to the list of supported territories. Go to Ys Online website, choose your language and press the ‘Join the Beta’ button to apply.

The 2nd Closed Beta will be live on April. This new phase will include various new features, such as new class specializations and a raised level cap, up to level 40 instead of 30. Amongst some of the more important changes you'll find the activation of the PVP system and some new maps: 4 more instances and 3 instance dungeons.

Set in the era of the greatest adventures, the time of Adol, this unique version of YS will allow you and your friends to experience one of the top 3 most venerable Japanese RPGs. It is the perfect mix of manga and online gaming!

Featuring a fast-paced combat system, dungeons, crafting professions, guild battles and many more possibilities, YS Online – Call of Solum is one of the most anticipated MMORPGs of the year.

The YS adventure is set in a mystical world with dark secrets: Romune, the center of the YS world. Dark spells are ravaging the entire continent and people are talking about the 6 lords and the 6 ancient books sealed with magic spells.

The Man of Wings was not only the Absolute Being but also a God in the Eresia Continent. With the Man of Wings' ascension to heaven, the ancient civilization that had blossomed in the vicinity of Vartekal and Romune came to an end. The Europa Region, situated in the center of the continent was on the brink of disaster due to the evil stone's incredibly reckless acts and the copious amount of legacies left by the Man of Wings.

After nearly a hundred years, numerous kingdoms across the continent collapsed, one after the other with a multitude of evil monsters emerging. Worse yet, the remaining kingdoms fell into the hands of those monsters for almost 20 years. After years of slavery, Grey the brave hero and his 12 valiant soldiers appeared. They eliminated the evil gods who were masterminding those monsters, paving the ground for an Empire under the name of Romune. The Romune Empire continued to expand its domain to a degree where it held sway over most of the regions on the continent including Europa.

And now, you are here to re-connect the historical dots of YS. YS Online inherits the worldview of YS series.
