Xanadu Next Release Date Announced
Torrance, Calif. — October 21, in the year of our
Lord 2016 — XSEED Games, the console publishing brand
of Marvelous USA, Inc., today announced that the Nihon Falcom
RPG Xanadu Next will release worldwide on November 3. Xanadu
Next will be available on Windows PC for $19.99 via Steam,

Xanadu Next is an exploration-centric action RPG from Nihon
Falcom, the acclaimed creators of the Ys and The Legend of
Heroes RPG franchises. Originally released in Japan in 2005,
this is the first time global audiences will be able to
experience this distinguished entry in the long-running
franchise. Representing their immensely popular Dragon Slayer
series and serving as a spiritual follow-up to the late ‘80s
cult classic Faxanadu, Xanadu Next puts the player in the shoes
of a gravely injured knight given a new lease on life through
ancient magic, who must now seek a legendary sword called
“Dragon Slayer” to ensure his survival.
Set on the medieval Europe-inspired Harlech Island, players will
explore the many different and interconnected environments of
the world around them while battling vicious enemies in
real-time, utilizing various unique skills attached to the many
weapons they find along the way. Through a variety of
ability-enhancing items that allow access to new areas,
“Guardians” that grant passive effects, stat customization with
the ability to level-down for point redistribution, and more, a
multitude of mysteries surrounding the ancient land of Xanadu
lay waiting to be unraveled.
Xanadu Next, developed by Nihon Falcom and published by XSEED
Games, will release for Windows PC via Steam, GOG.com, and the
Humble Store by Humble Bundle on November 3rd for $19.99 with a
10% launch week discount. The Windows PC version of Xanadu Next
is not rated by the ESRB.
