Like most of the other Ys titles, Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of Dana tells another chapter in the story of Adol; this time, he finds himself shipwrecked and stranded on a cursed island. Along the way, Adol meets the other shipwrecked passengers as they rescue a village, defeat fearsome beasts, and explore mysterious ruins. In the midst of this, Adol finds himself dreaming of a mysterious blue-haired maiden called Dana, as well as the enigma of the cursed island.
The PlayStation 5 version of Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of Dana will be based around the original release on PlayStation 4, featuring all previously released cosmetics on this platform and on PS Vita.
