Ys VI The Ark of Napishtim (Ys 6), the cult classic JRPG and sixth installment of the Ys series is making its way to mobile platforms (Ys 6 Mobile) in Malaysia with an Open Beta starting from 6 May 2022.  The port of the highly rated 2003 console JRPG made its mobile debut in Japan in July 2021 and soon thereafter entered the Taiwan, Macau and Hong Kong markets topping the charts in both the iOS and Android app stores accumulating over three million downloads thus far.

“We at VNG Games, are delighted to announce that we are bringing the Ys 6 Mobile to Malaysia. Ys 6 was the sixth entry in a 35-year-old RPG series. This is a game that won so many hearts close to 2-decades ago when it was first released on PC and consoles. The fascinating story, loveable characters and enticing gameplay made it a classic. Now we are excited to allow fans and newcomers alike the chance to experience the vast and wonderful world of Ys.

We were even more motivated ever since we witnessed the overwhelmingly positive feedback when Ys 6 was first launched in the other regions. For many players out there, Ys could have been a childhood memory and it is our pleasure to allow them the opportunity to revisit the experience of journeying across this beautiful JRPG.”
