About the Game: Ys IX – Monstrum NOX-

Ys IX -Monstrum NOX- is scheduled for release on September 26, 2019 for the PlayStation4!

Ys IX takes place after the events of Ys Seven as it follows Adol’s adventures to the “Prison City” of Balduq, a major city located in Gllia-Erdlingen, a Romun province located in the northeast Esterior peninsula.

After their adventures in Altago (Ys Seven), Adol and Dogi find their way to the “Prison City” of Balduq and are quickly apprehended as suspects in the sudden disappearance of the Romun fleet in the Atlas Ocean. Although they proclaim their innocence, the solders lock them away in the city’s prison.

Eventually, a mysterious girl with a prosthetic arm and leg comes to their rescue. She introduces herself as Aprilis, a so-called “Monstrum”. She explains how she and the other Monstrum like her are feared by the city folk for their mysterious appearance and supernatural powers. It is from this chance encounter that Adol’s adventure in Balduq begins.

What is and what is not real…? How do you know what is a dream or what fantasy…? Maybe they are both the same.
