Ys IX Monstrum Nox for PC gets local co-op via latest update and more

NIS America is pleased to announce today that Ys IX Monstrum Now for PC gets local co-op via the latest update and other new features.

By downloading the latest update via Steam, players of Ys IX Monstrum Nox will now have an option to play up to three players where they can fight monsters together and explore dungeons, but also explore the city of Balduq.

Additionally, the latest update also brings support for aspect ratios narrower than 16:9 – which is particularly useful on Steam Deck’s 16:10 screen – and a number of more minor bug fixes which have accumulated since the release.

Find below the full patch notes:
