Bear with me right here: the Xenosaga JRPG sequence belongs to the broader Xeno sequence, which additionally contains the lately-very-popular Xenoblade Chronicles video games. The Xenosaga trilogy initially launched for PlayStation 2, and the primary two video games had been additionally ported to Nintendo DS.
You do not must be a JRPG or Monolith Mushy fanatic to pay attention to these basic PS2 JRPGs, however you would be forgiven for not understanding Xenosaga: Pied Piper exists. It launched completely for Vodafone cellphones in 2004 (earlier than the smartphone period) and never solely that, it was by no means launched outdoors of Japan. Guess which Xenosaga recreation is coming to PC, then?
Sure: Xenosaga: Pied Piper is coming to Steam at some unspecified date sooner or later, and it comes courtesy of the identical writer chargeable for that latest Armored Core flip cellphone port. Pied Piper was additionally designed for flip telephones and you’ll inform. Take a look at the trailer above.

Like Armored Core: Cell 3, this port will not add any trendy quality-of-life enhancements, neither is an English translation a part of the deal. Not understanding Japanese can be an impediment for certain, however the artwork model scales up rather well: not like the Armored Core port I believe I might really attempt to play this.
Whether or not you’ve gotten the endurance or not, G-Mode’s efforts to protect these ye olde artefacts are to be counseled. And it is in all probability the one Xeno recreation we’ll see on PC for a really very long time since Nintendo owns the studio these days. Nonetheless, it does appear to display that there isn’t any motive why Namco Bandai cannot re-animate the opposite Xenosaga video games for contemporary platforms.
