XSEED Games, recent North American publisher of all games Ys, announced today that it will be bringing Ys: The Oath in Felghana and Ys Origin to Steam. Developed by Nihon Falcom, the two Ys games should make a welcome addition to your PC gaming library if you're into action-RPGs with red-haired heroes.

According to the official press release, Ys: The Oath in Felghana (which arrived in Japan way back in 2005) will retail for $14.99 and will be available in North America starting on March 19, 2012. Ys Origin will arrive later, though the price and release date aren't yet finalized.

"People have been asking for Falcom's great catalog of PC games to be officially made available in English for a long time," said Jun Iwasaki, President of XSEED Games. "To start our new publishing arrangement on Steam with two standout entries from Falcom's action-based Ys series, one of which has never been made available in English before, is an ideal situation for us, and we are excited about the future possibilities."

There are a lot of Ys fans here at HonestGamers, so you probably haven't heard the last from us when it comes to XSEED Games and its admirable efforts to make more Ys games readily available to an English audience.
