Falcom announced the release date of
Ys IX: Monstrum Nox in this week’s issue of Famitsu Magazine. The game launches in Japan on September 26, exclusively on PS4. Many fans had already guessed the game would release on the last week of September, as Falcom
recently announced the game was planned for Fall 2019. Falcom always releases a big game on that week.
New details on Adol and Dogi were revealed as well. It turned out that the playable blue-haired character with the red scarf shown in
one of the previous screenshots was Adol himself. Meaning there are actually six playable characters revealed so far instead of seven.
Here’s Adol’s profile from the official site:
Adol is an adventurer who is said to have left behind over a hundred journals recounting his adventures through his life. He’s 24 years old during
Ys IX. Before the events of the game, a military fleet of the Romun Empire ends up disappearing in the Atlas Ocean. Adol was there too but somehow got back on land fine, so he’s the prime suspect. As such, the Romun military believes he’s the one behind the incident, so when Adol arrives near Balduk, he gets arrested and thrown in the city’s prison. Victim of these false accusations, Adol tries to break out of jail. He ends up meeting the mysterious woman with the gun and lantern shown in the first key visual, and gets entangled in a plot with the Monstrum characters.
Here’s Dogi’s profile: Dogi is 29 years old during the events of
Ys IX Monstrum Nox. He’s nicknamed the wall crusher as he’s so powerful no wall in the world can resist him. He’s been traveling with Adol for years so he’s used to supernatural events. After Adol and Dogi’s adventure in Altago, the events shown in
Ys Seven, they headed toward the Gilia Eltlingen region inside Romun territory. This is where Balduk is located. However, they ended up being found by Romun soldiers.
