'Ys IX: Monstrum Nox' (ALL) Gets PS4 Date, Shows Off Combat - Trailer

by Rainier on Aug. 28, 2020 @ 10:24 a.m. PDT

Adol Christin is transformed into a Monstrum within the Prison City of Balduq. To stop the Grimwald Nox, he must ally with his fellow Monstrum and discover the city's secrets in this thrilling action-RPG!

"What is real...is defined by what is not.
Who one is...is defined by who one isn't.
To move forward, one must accept these truths.
Yes, in this prison—this cradle—
my dreams and reality became one."

Renowned adventurer Adol “the Red” Christin and his companion Dogi arrive at Balduq, a city annexed by the Romun Empire, only for Adol to be detained before setting foot inside. While imprisoned, he meets a mysterious woman named Aprilis who turns him into a Monstrum, a being with supernatural Gifts and the power to exorcise monsters. Now, Adol must ally with his fellow Monstrums to fend off the fearsome threats emerging from a shadowy dimension called the Grimwald Nox, as well as unravel the mysteries of the Monstrum curse, and the truth behind the unrest within Balduq.

There's no end to the action in the recent Combat Trailer, where the Monstrums must call upon their Gifts and collaborate to drive back the shadows from whence they came.

Key Features:

  • Feared Protectors - Play as any of the six notorious Monstrums, each with their own unique Gifts that grant abilities such as scaling sheer walls or detecting hidden objects to protect the city from shadowy creatures.
  • The World Within the Walls - Explore the massive city, accept quests to aid the townsfolk, and enter the Grimwald Nox to vanquish the threats to Balduq .
  • Strength of the Night - Familiar mechanics such as Flash Dodge and Flash Guard allow you to outmaneuver your foes, while new additions such as Gifts and Boost Mode further augment your ability to fight.

Ys IX: Monstrum Nox is coming to PS4 on February 2, 2021 (Feb. 5 in Europe), followed by Nintendo Switch and PC versions in summer 2021!
