Ys Origin Coming To Xbox One

DotEmu has been behind several remastering projects, including the likes of Wonder Boy: The Dragon's Trap and Windjammers. Another title the publisher took on was bringing Ys Origin from PC to PlayStation platforms last year. Now the beginnings of the Ys storyline can be experienced by Xbox One players this spring, which marks the first time the action-RPG series has graced a Microsoft console.

This marks a series of bold projects that the French publisher is undertaking this year, which has bigger announcements in the near future regarding "reviving retro franchises." There are no confirmed alterations to this port with the updated visuals and effects.

Our Take
Wonderboy: The Dragon's Trap is an exceptional remake of the original game that I had the fortune of playing last year. I'd love to see more of these games in the series receive the same treatment, but am also excited about the prospect of entirely new remasters and remakes. Maybe the release of Ys Origins could be a sign of other titles in the series gracing modern consoles in the near future? I guess we'll just have to wait and find out.
