During NIS America’s annual press event in San Francisco, which DualShockers attended, the publisher announced a  release window for the Nintendo Switch port of Nihon Falcom’s action-JRPG Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of Dana.

The game will hit the North American and European shelves for Nintendo’s console this summer, even if a more precise release date was not shared.

The port will be based on the PS4 version, and it will include exclusive content for the Switch. It will come pre-packaged with the Deserted Pirate costumes, the Tropic Swimwear costumes, Laxia’s rather sexy “Eternian Scholar” costume as well as six other cosmetic DLC.

If you’re unfamiliar with the title, you can read an official description directly from NIS America below.
