The Japanese exclusive PSP title Ys vs. Trails in the Sky: Alternative Saga is finally getting a release in the West!
The game is a crossover arena styled fighting game that mixes the world of Ys with Trails in the Sky. Featuring a wide range of characters from the Sky arc as well as the main Ys titles, players get to experience a unique "what if" story that brings the two worlds together. Despite being a fighter, the game retains RPG systems, with the ability to level up and customize each character to your liking. The battle system itself is inspired by Ys, or more specifically Ys SEVEN, with elements from Trails in the Sky mixed in as well.
Releasing on the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and PC, the game will feature full English voice acting, and is one of the few cases where Adol, the main character of Ys, has a full speaking role within a game throughout the story.
Ys vs. Trails in the Sky: Alternative Saga will be published by refint/games, and is set to release in 2025.
Despite being the first official release of the game in the West, it was previously available as a fan translation by Geofront, which this version of the game is based off of. Geofront was also responsible for bringing Trails from Zero and Trails to Azure to the Western market, along with The Legend of Nayuta: Boundless Trails.
