JRPG Christmas seems set to continue all year long, but deep in my heart, I think the one I might be most excited about is Ys 10: Nordics, which is finally being released outside of Japan this fall.
Ys 10 landed in Japan back in September, and contrary to what we've come to expect from a very global game industry, no worldwide launch was announced at the time. Now, finally, publisher NIS America has confirmed that the game is getting an English release across PC, Switch, PS5, and PS3 in "fall 2024." Sadly, we don't yet have a more specific release date than that.
Developer Nihon Falcom has come to be known over the years for continuing to make the kind of JRPGs that seemed to die out after the PS2 era: back-to-basics adventures with rock-solid combat systems, excellent world-building, and a memorable cast of characters. These games aren't as flashy as, say, the latest entries in the Final Fantasy series, but they have more than enough heart to make up for that fact.
Ys is a particularly long-running project for Falcom, since the first entry in the series launched for Japanese computers way back in 1987 - and, incidentally, was just re-released on Switch for the historically curious. Ys is an action-RPG series known for particularly adventuresome stories and fast-paced combat systems, and it looks like Ys 10 is no exception.
We've spent the past few weeks asserting that 2024 looks like the year of JRPGs, particularly given how the start of the year has gotten stacked with everything from Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth to Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth. There's a lot more coming through the rest of the year, but honestly, it's tough to imagine much better than the comfort food of returning to Ys.
Check out our guide to the best JRPGs out there.

FuRyu’s compelling Shibuya-set action RPG outing REYNATIS has attracted a lot of interest since being announced for the PS5 and PS4 in Japan last week, but many were waiting on confirmation of a Western release. Following this week’s full-length trailer, that’s now come courtesy of NIS America, who’s signed on as publisher in North America and Europe.
So, Dragon Age: Dreadwolf — the BioWare game that's been developed, scrapped, developed again, maybe scrapped again, and then teased for about half a decade, could finally release before the year is out. That's according to in-the-know Game Mess host Jeff Grubb (via Eurogamer), who says "[Dreadwolf] will be released this year, last I heard". He continues: «They're pretty confident about that. Doesn't mean it's a guarantee – could slip – but right now, internally, they expect to release it later this year.»
Junon is dangerous territory for Cloud and his friends in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth. The city is already one of Shinra’s major hubs, but matters are made even worse when the president himself is set to arrive to host a parade. This presents a perfect opportunity to don some disguises and hide in plain sight among the ranks, though things get a little out of control when you are recruited to lead a team of troops to perform in a rhythm minigame. You could brush this off and just get by, but where’s the honor in that? Show the president your stuff by making the best parade formation possible.
Materia is the backbone of spell casting and stat improvement in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, adding tons of customizability and strategy to your characters’ loadouts.

These slots are merged together to allow you to combine the effects of two types of materia for a variety of unique and powerful outcomes. Here are our choices for some of the best materia to link together.
