Based upon the long-running Ys RPG series, Ys Online is an upcoming fantasy MMORPG with anime-influenced graphics. The game incorporates the hero of the Ys games, Arol the Red, and takes place in the familiar world of Esteria.

The storyline concerns the aftermath of the fallen Romune Empire and heroes from several different lands coming together to fight off invading hordes and starting a new chapter in Esterian history.

The game features three races - Eresians, Afrocans, and Kimoans, and either mage or fighter class paths within each. Eresians are balanced, Afrocans are large, strong warriors, and the cat-eared Kimoans are nimble and skilled.
