Anime Expo attendees will be able to check out Ys X: Nordics months before its official release in North America.

Announced on Thursday, an Ys X: Nordics panel at the convention is slated for July 4 at panel room 511ABC from 6:15 p.m. through 7:05 p.m. During the panel, Nihon Falcom President and AX Guest of Honor Toshihiro Kondo will showcase gameplay footage while discussing the new title. The panel will conclude with the announcement of the North American release date. All panel attendees will gain a free gift as well.

Released last fall in Japan, Ys X: Nordics delivers naval exploration and combat for the first time in the franchise’s history. Pre-orders for Ys X: Nordics can be made here. The game will be released on the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, and PC (via Steam).

A synopsis for Ys X: Nordics reads:

A milestone entry in the legendary Ys series, Ys X: Nordics offers exhilarating, fast-paced combat, a moving story of unlikely allies, and naval exploration across the vibrant Obelia Gulf. Following their tenuous encounter at sea, the young red-haired adventurer Adol Christin and the proud pirate Karja Balta find themselves bound by fate – and the mysterious power of Mana! As they search for a way to undo the mystical ties that bind them, they soon find themselves caught up in a conflict between two factions: the seafaring warriors known as the Normans and the enigmatic and seemingly immortal Griegers. In order to save the people of Obelia Gulf, Adol and Karja must navigate the depths of their unexpected bond and the power that it grants them.
