'Ys Origin' Coming To Steam Next Week

by Rainier on May 25, 2012 @ 7:31 a.m. PDT

Ys Origin is a prequel to the previous installments of the Ys series, taking place 700 years before the events of Ys I: Ancient Ys Vanished, and tells much of the backstory of Ys, Darm Tower, the Black Pearl, the twin goddesses, and the six priests.

Originally released in Japan for PC in 2006, Ys Origin has seen a host of enhancements for its English release, including Steam Achievements and Cloud support, online leaderboards, enhanced game pad support and true widescreen compatibility. Set 700 years before the first title in the Ys series, the game’s story focuses on the twin Goddesses and the mysterious Black Pearl made famous in Ys I & II, and follows the adventures of several playable characters as they ascend a menacing tower built by demons, fighting for their lives in that classic fast-paced action RPG style Ys fans have come to know and love.

Ys Origin will be released on Steam at a price of $19.99 dollars/€15.99 euros/£12.99 pounds/399 rubles.
