Recent, we got the announcement that Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of DANA is making its way to the mobile platform. Then just a couple of days ago, we just got some more details about this action/RPG game before its show at TGS this year.

The series

If you don't know what this series is about yet, you can check out these two games to have a taste of what it's like: Ys Chronicles I and Ys Chronicles 2. These games were ported from the PSP version which featured both titles in a collection, and they are available on both Android and iOS. See the English PlayStation video trailer for Ys VIII here:

They have confirmed that this upcoming release of the title on Android and iOS will feature a new character.

Ys VIII's mobile release will be handled by Nihon Falcom and Linekong Entertainment. Recently, they have confirmed that this upcoming release of the title on Android and iOS will feature a new character: Rucol. This is a bandit girl who, if you attend the TGS this year, you can take on to join in a boss fight. We'll probably learn more really soon, as the developer has promised that a new gameplay demo will be shown at the event.

It has such a broader focus than other Ys titles.

It is unclear how they plan to integrate this new character to the storyline, mainly because Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of DANA has a much broader focus than other Ys titles. This mobile version would be on the same level as the Switch and PS4 versions with its additional characters and content.

We will definitely check the mobile version of the title out when it reaches the market, so do stay tuned for more updates. Additionally, you can visit the game's official website to learn more about its world and characters.
