Some notable details include a focus on adding verticality to a city that will already be the largest in the series to date. Maps will include multiple elevations that can be explored by running up walls and utilizing an increased jumping ability. The traditional party system remains in tact, and switching between party members while fighting will be important mechanic.
Introduced from behind bars are the Monstrums, a group of individuals with super-human abilities. Each of the Monstrums have unique skills such as flying or running up walls which can be shared throughout the party.
Ys IX: Monstrum Nox is still on track for a Fall release on PlayStation 4 in Japan though no set release date was announced.
