'''Ys IV: The Dawn of Ys''' is the second of two ''VideoGame/{{Ys}}'' titles released as "Ys IV", the other being ''VideoGame/YsIVMaskOfTheSun''. Like the latter, series creator Creator/{{Falcom}} licensed out development to Creator/HudsonSoft, who also published it, and released it exclusively for the UsefulNotes/PCEngine on December 22, 1993. It remains the only non-SpinOff ''Ys'' installment to remain on a single platform.

A non-canon version of ''Ys IV'' where Adol returns to Esteria two years after killing Darm to find himself having to head to Celceta to combat a greater evil than Darm was. When he arrives there, he hears about monsters increasing in number thanks to the actions of the Clan of Darkness, something that might be connected to the very evil Adol was summoned to fight.

This version of ''Ys IV''
Just like ''Mask of the Sun'', ''The Dawn of Ys'' retains the birds-eye-view perspective and "Bump Attack" combat system from ''VideoGame/YsIAncientYsVanishedOmen'' and ''VideoGame/YsIIAncientYsVanishedTheFinalChapter'', including the use of magic spells via wands from the latter.
Since ''Mask of the Sun'' was originally meant to be the canon version of ''Ys IV'' when Falcom released an official ''Ys'' timeline, ''The Dawn of Ys'' was {{Retcon}}ned out. However, some narrative elements of this game would be recycled in the VideoGameRemake ''VideoGame/YsMemoriesOfCelceta'', which also takes a few things from ''Mask of the Sun''
