Ys X: Proud Nordics Switch 2 and PC Versions Set for 2026

The updated version of Adol’s tenth adventure is heading westward. At gamescom 2025, NIS America confirmed a release window for the Switch and PC versions of Ys X: Proud Nordics. That will debut in early 2026. The Deluxe Edition is also already showing up on the European version of the NIS Store for £59.99/€69.99, and those listings confirm copies will only be a Switch 2 game-key card and not a true physical copy of the game.

This version of Ys X is designed to both look better and add new elements. This time, we can visit Oland Island with Astrid and Canute to investigate it. It is apparently designed to be a little more challenging. Muspelheim dungeon will be open after get into the title, offering more of a challenge and reason to further build up Adol and Karja. The original game offered some platforming and puzzles to solve, and there will be new tasks that will require us to use a Mana Hold ability to keep moving. 

All of these come up in the new trailer:

The Deluxe Edition photos are already in and show what people get. In addition to the Switch 2 game-key card that doesn’t actually include a copy of Ys X: Proud Nordics on the cartridge, you get two physical bonuses. One is a mini art book, and the other is a small poster. 

Here’s how that looks. The front cover of the game mentions the Switch 2 game-key card.

Ys X: Proud Nordics is available on the Switch 2 and PC in Japan now, and that version will show up worldwide in early 2026. The original Ys X is on the PS4, PS5, Switch, and PC everywhere.
