Ys vs. Trails in the Sky: Alternative Saga arrives this Winter in the West

Nihon Falcom released Ys vs. Trails in the Sky: Alternative Saga on the PlayStation Portable way back in 2010 and at the time it was Japan only. Last year we learnt that in 2025 the game would be coming to the west and in English and now we have a tighter window as the game is releasing sometime this Winter for us, or Summer for those in the North.

In celebration of the news, a new trailer was released for the game, spotlighting the characters available in it, check it out.

The fast-paced action that earned acclaim in Ys SEVEN is back and better than ever! With the ability to jump adding a whole new layer of speed and strategy, you’ll soar across vast battlefields while unleashing thrilling combos that take the excitement to the next level.

Familiar characters from the Trails in the Sky series showcase their mastery of diverse crafts, delivering familiar yet dynamic attacks you can only experience in this title. The team working on the western release also confirmed a few key features.

  • Beautifully remastered graphics for display in HD and 4K screens, as well as 60 frames per second support.

  • Featuring couch and online multiplayer for the first time.

  • Includes English voice acting from a familiar cast from the Ys and Trails series.

  • A vast Material Collection of wallpapers and soundtracks from various Falcom titles to unlock.

  • PC-centric features including mouse and keyboard support, arbitrary aspect ratio (up to 5:4 and 21:9), and more

For that last one, you can see one of the screens below in the 21:9 ratio. The game is coming to PC via Steam and GOG, PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5, plus Nintendo Switch sometime this Winter.
