One winner will receive the Ys Origin Special Edition, Nintendo Switch version, to be released on October 1, 2020!

Akiba Research Institute is currently running a giveaway campaign in which one lucky person will win a copy of "Ys Origin Special Edition" for Nintendo Switch.

Ys Origin Special Edition" is a packaged edition of "Ys Origin," which depicts the beginning of the popular ARPG "Ys" series. As a special item bundled only with the package for fans of the series, the special retro-size box specification was created in the image of the first limited edition of the original version released by Nihon Falcom in 2006. The package features a design featuring the two iconic goddesses, Rhea and Fina, while retaining the world view of the original version.
