Xenosaga III is Coming
We’re sure of it, and we have the first details to back it up.
Published: April 13, 2006
All good things must come to an end, and come this fall, we’ll be seeing the third and final chapter of a certain epic, cinematic-heavy role-playing series.
…Give up yet?
Ok, we’ll help you guys out. It’s Xenosaga Episode III: Also sprach Zarathustra, the grand conclusion to the sprawling trilogy, which, interestingly enough, was originally intended to span six titles. Will mankind be saved? Hell, we sure hope so!
“We are very excited to bring this conclusion of the Xenosaga series to the fans who have been anxiously waiting to see how this epic adventure will conclude,” offers Yoshi Niki, NAMCO BANDAI Games America Inc.’s Product Group Director.
A year has passed since the events of Xenosaga II, and leading lady Shion Uzuki has resigned from Vector Industries after learning of its deep roots to the Gnosis phenomenon. She's now hooked up with an underground organization named Scientia, and joined their operations in uncovering the truth behind Vector, and with the fate of humanity on the line, bring down the corporation as well.
Xenosaga III will be sporting many features you’ve come to expect from the series, but not without a few surprises. Updated battle system? Check. A hefty 3+ hours of cutscenes? You bet. An improved customization feature, making for more in-depth character specialization and diversification? Yuh huh, that too. Smart, strategic party management will also be more handsomely rewarded. Let’s not forget the “Xeno Bible,” a database feature that can accessed with relative ease, not to mention an included mini-game with over 50 levels to make for a challenging alternative. Assuming you get sick of all them movies.
Xenosaga Episode III: Also sprach Zarathustra (that’s “Thus Zarathustra spoke,” and no, we won’t bother questioning the capitalization) is gearing up for a fall release, as mentioned. G’head and eye up the first screens for a look at what’s in store.
