Ys Memoire: Revelations in Celceta Confirmed for Nintendo Switch Western Release in Early 2026

Ys Memoire: Revelations in Celceta will be making its highly anticipated debut on the Nintendo Switch in Western markets in early 2026, as officially announced by publisher XSEED Games.

This enhanced version of the acclaimed action RPG, originally developed by Nihon Falcom, brings a celebrated entry in the Ys franchise to a new generation of players, further expanding the series' presence on Nintendo's versatile platform. Ys Memoire: Revelations in Celceta is an upgraded release of Ys: Memories of Celceta, which first launched on PlayStation Vita in 2012, followed by versions for PC and PlayStation 4.

The "Memoire" project, spearheaded by Falcom, aims to deliver revitalized renditions of classic Ys titles for modern hardware.

The Japanese release of Revelations in Celceta is currently slated for May 2025, with the Western release following in early 2026. This title holds a unique place in RPG history as the canonical fourth game in the long-running Ys saga.

In the early 1990s, Falcom licensed the development of Ys IV to two separate companies, resulting in two distinct versions of the fourth chapter.

Ys: Memories of Celceta, and now its Memoire edition, is widely recognized as Falcom’s definitive vision for this segment of protagonist Adol Christin's adventures.

Chronologically, the story continues directly after Ys X, itself scheduled for re-release on the future Switch 2 hardware in 2026. Regarding new features and quality-of-life improvements, XSEED Games has stated that players will be able to switch between the classic soundtrack and a fully reimagined, newly recorded score.

This dual soundtrack system offers fans both nostalgia and a refreshed audio experience.

As for gameplay, Revelations in Celceta boasts party-based combat that encourages on-the-fly tactical adjustments, with allies learning new skills as battles progress.

The game’s robust mapping system facilitates thorough exploration of the sprawling and mysterious land of Celceta, rewarding curiosity and strategic planning. XSEED Games highlighted several core features of Ys Memoire: Revelations in Celceta in their official announcement: - Dynamic party-based action RPG mechanics with real-time combat and adaptive tactics. - Expansive, dangerous world exploration powered by a robust mapping system. - An enhanced musical experience, allowing seamless transitions between original and re-arranged scores. This release marks the second entry in the broader Memoire project, following Ys Memoire: The Oath in Felghana, which launched earlier in the year for Nintendo Switch and received critical acclaim for its faithful enhancements.

With Ys Memoire: Revelations in Celceta, both newcomers and longtime fans can revisit one of the franchise’s pivotal chapters through modernized visuals, audio, and accessibility on the Nintendo Switch and, eventually, Switch 2 platforms. Ys Memoire: Revelations in Celceta is set to invigorate the action RPG scene on Nintendo’s handheld-console hybrid, reaffirming Falcom’s legacy and XSEED Games’ commitment to bringing classic Japanese RPG experiences to global audiences.

For those eager to journey once more into the world of Celceta, the wait will soon be over as the title makes its Western debut in early 2026.
