We’re really happy that Japanese RPG lovers will soon be able to play this amazing game series on Xbox. Created more than 30 years ago by Nihon Falcom, Ys is one of the greatest game series ever — the first episode was originally released on the NEC PC-8801 — and as you can see by looking on the internet, this is some old-school hardware. We’ve been working on the Ys series with Falcom for many years and we’re proud to be part of such an adventure, bringing these great games to fans and new players alike.

Ys Origin takes place 700 years before the events of the series’ first games. The land of Ys is on the brink of destruction. Demons come in droves, forcing the twin goddesses who rule the land to use their magic and bring the inhabitants of the land safely into the sky. But while the demons work to construct the Devil’s Tower and reach the humans’ new home, the goddesses disappear. Your mission: climb the Tower and save the Goddesses.

In Ys Origin, you can play as Yunica, a mighty warrior who’s quite handy with an axe – perfect for players who savor close combat and vicious fights; or Hugo, a cunning sorcerer who uses powerful spells to defeat his enemies from a distance. There’s also another playable character with his/her own gameplay and storyline… but I don’t want to spoil the fun!

With three playable characters, fast-paced gameplay, and a great story, Ys Origin combines the best of what Japanese games offer. And with its epic boss fights and various game modes, you can be sure that a great challenge awaits.

The Ys series is known for its great art direction and Ys Origin doesn’t fail to deliver with its beautiful Japanese anime style. And the music… ah, the music of Ys! Do you like crazy good themes with awesome guitars that just make you want to save the world? Well, that’s the music of Ys, and if you don’t trust me, just watch again the trailer at the beginning of this post.

We can’t wait to bring you Ys Origin with exclusive content for Xbox One! Stay tuned for more announcements on Xbox Wire and follow us on Twitter and Facebook for the latest game news.

I can’t express how excited I am for you to jump into the mystery adventure of The Station and solve what happened onboard a futuristic space station, sent to research a newly discovered sentient alien civilization. After losing contact with the crew, you’re sent to investigate and will discover a mystery that will decide the fate of two civilizations.

We’re throwing you straight into an immersive mystery experience focused on heavy atmosphere and a gripping story. What awaits you onboard is a tale you’ll be thinking about for days to come.

Built by a team of triple-A veterans, we came together to fuse the top industry talent with the indie game format. Most of us are old friends who have worked together on several blockbuster game titles like Bioshock Infinite, Destiny and Prototype but wanted to come together to make something special. We all entered the industry because of our love for storytelling. The Station is an opportunity to show you just how much we’re passionate about it.

We’re only too happy to continue making games together as a team. If you enjoy games like The Station, you’ll be pleased to hear that our next game has already been green-lit and has entered pre-production.

Hey there, Xbox Insiders!  As valuable members of the Xbox Insider Community, we get a lot of feedback from you while you’re helping us preview games, apps and upcoming system updates, but did you know there are some issues we’re already aware of during the preview window? We imagine you already knew this, but in the event that you didn’t (or else need a quick refresher), we’ve got you covered. We’ve already written about the value of using the “Report a problem” tool to report unexpected behavior, but you can also add feedback for a known issue without completing a brand new feedback form.

To do this, simply open the “Report a problem” tool, where you’ll see any known issues listed on the first screen. All you need to do to let us know you’ve encountered one of the known issues listed is select it and then choose the “+1 option.” It’s that easy!

Before selecting “+1,” we’d ask that you make sure the behavior you’re seeing is the same as what’s described in the title and description of the known issue. While some things might seem similar, it’s important that we’re getting as much feedback as possible from users experiencing the behavior as described. If your issue is different, please make sure to select the “Add new problem” option instead and fill out the form normally.

So get out there and file feedback; we look forward to all your input!
