Ys III: Wanderers From Ys PS2 Version Receives Full English Translation

The Japan-exclusive PlayStation 2 version of Ys III: Wanderers from Ys is now accessible to English-speaking players. A fan-made translation patch, released on August 8, 2026, provides a complete English experience for the title, which was previously limited to Japanese audiences.

Quick Facts

Platform: PlayStation 2
Project Lead: Kaisaan
Source Material: Based on the original side-scrolling title, mirroring the Sharp X68000 version.

This release is distinct from the 3D-remake Ys: The Oath in Felghana, which was localized for the PSP in 2010 and later for PC. The PS2 version retains the classic side-scrolling combat mechanics of the original 1989 release, while incorporating enhanced graphics and voice acting.

The translation team behind this project previously collaborated on the English translation for Ys V: Lost Kefin, Kingdom of Sand. In addition to the Ys III patch, the team also released an update for the Ys V translation.
