Retro game publisher DotEmu has announced that it's bringing the remake of classic JRPG Ys Chronicles 1 to iOS and Android.

The remake of 1987's Ys 1: Ancient Ys Vanished was originally released on PC and PSP in the 2000s. Now it has been adapted to touchscreen controls for phones and tablets.

Exactly how it will play on the touchscreen hasn't been revealed yet. Nor has a release date been given outside of it coming "soon."

What we do know is that it will follow the story of Adol Christin as he tries to free the cities of Esteria from a demonic invasion.
