Hey everyone! Get hyped because Ys Memoire: Revelations in Celceta is heading to the West on Nintendo Switch in early 2026! I know, it feels like ages away, but trust me, it'll be worth the wait. This gem initially dropped in Japan, and now we're finally getting our hands on it!

So, what's the buzz about? Well, it's actually a spruced-up version of Ys: Memories of Celceta, which some of you might remember from the PS Vita, PS4, and PC. But this isn't just a straight port. The developers have gone all-in, creating fresh renditions of all the background music. If you're like me and love a good soundtrack, this alone is a reason to be excited!

And for those who love to collect, there's a physical Day One Edition coming! It's priced at $59.99 and will be available through the Marvelous USA Online Store and other retailers. What do you get? A copy of the game, a cool 3D acrylic keychain/diorama, a two-disc soundtrack, a set of art cards, and even a cloth map of Celceta. All of this is packaged in a specially illustrated box, making it a must-have for fans.

What's the Story?

The game follows Adol Christin, a famous adventurer who wakes up in Celceta with amnesia. Classic, right? He teams up with a thief named Duren and gets roped into mapping the Great Forest of Celceta for the Romun Army. Sounds like a suicide mission, but Adol's got to do what he's got to do to recover his memories. Along the way, he'll meet people who claim to know him, and he'll have to figure out who to trust. It's a tale of mystery, adventure, and rediscovering yourself.

If you're new to the Ys series, this is a great entry point. Ys Memoire: Revelations in Celceta is set after the events of Ys X: Nordics and influenced the gameplay of later titles like Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of DANA. You'll get to see how the series evolved and why it's still going strong.

Key Features

Here's a quick rundown of what makes this game stand out:

  • Party-Based Action: You'll need to strategize and switch tactics on the fly in battles. Allies can learn new abilities mid-fight, adding another layer of depth.
  • Dynamic Exploration: Celceta is a huge, mysterious land with tons to discover. The game includes a mapping system to help you navigate and find all the hidden goodies.
  • Enhanced Music: Whether you prefer the original score or the newly recorded version, your ears are in for a treat.

Honestly, I'm really looking forward to this one. The Ys series has always been a favorite of mine, and I can't wait to jump into this adventure on my Switch. Early 2026 can't come soon enough!
