NIS America's updated localisation for the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation Vita versions of Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of Dana is now available via a downloadable patch. The PlayStation 4 patch comes in at 1.16 GB, while the Vita patch is 279 MB. The updated localisation features script changes; updated item, boss, and monster names; updated in-game terminology; new graphical text; and fully re-recorded English dialogue.

The latest title in Nihon Falcom's long-running action RPG series, Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of Dana was initially released for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation Vita in 2017. A PC release was initially planned for the end of January, but his has been indefinitely delayed due to technical issues. The game was also announced for release on Nintendo Switch, with that version planned for summer 2018. Those looking to read more about the game can check out Harry Papadimitriou's review of the PlayStation 4 version as well as Mike Moehnke's review of the PlayStation Vita version, both of which are based on the original localisation.
