About Xanadu Next Game

Explore the mysterious Castle Strangerock, uncover its secrets, and fight hordes of monsters in the action-packed RPG, Xanadu Next.

Xanadu Next is a captivating and immersive exploration-centric action RPG developed by Nihon Falcom, the acclaimed creators of the Ys and The Legend of Heroes RPG franchises. Serving as a late entry in their immensely popular Dragon Slayer series and a spiritual successor to the cult classic Faxanadu from the late '80s, Xanadu Next takes players on a thrilling adventure filled with mystery, danger, and ancient magic.

The game is set on Harlech Island, a place where mist often hangs over Lake Orwell, giving rise to legends of a phantom castle known as Castle Strangerock. Sailors who have sailed near the castle claim that it fades into the fog like a mirage, leaving them with more questions than answers. This local legend catches the attention of an up-and-coming scholar named Charlotte L. Wells, who becomes determined to study the castle firsthand. However, being an unescorted young lady, she enlists the help of an old childhood friend and fallen knight to accompany her on this intriguing adventure.

Upon their arrival in Harlech, Castle Strangerock comes into view almost immediately, captivating Char's attention. While she delves into researching the mystery, her companion explores the surrounding areas, searching for artifacts that might shed light on the castle's origins. Sadly, his exploration leads to his untimely death at the hands of a mysterious swordsman who seems to be displaced in time. But death is only the beginning of his adventure.

In Xanadu Next, players assume the role of this gravely injured knight who is given a new lease on life through ancient magic. His main objective is to seek out a legendary sword called the "Dragon Slayer" to ensure his survival. The game features real-time combat against hordes of monsters, providing a thrilling and dynamic gameplay experience. Players can explore the lush and dangerous environments of Harlech Island, as well as the ruins of Xanadu, an ancient paradise inspired by tales of Kublai Khan.

Throughout the game, players will uncover fragments of Xanadu's past in the form of ancient stone tablets and memorandums. These artifacts, written in an ancient language, can be translated in real-time by the player's companion, providing valuable insights into the age of Xanadu and its rich mythologies. The interconnected world of Xanadu Next is filled with secrets, hidden passages, shortcuts, and hidden items, rewarding players for their exploration and curiosity.

In terms of gameplay mechanics, Xanadu Next offers a unique leveling system that allows players to level down in order to tweak their stats. This adds an exciting element of customization and strategy to the game. Players can also fuse themselves with "Guardians" to gain new passive abilities, learn spells, and even carve keys from monster bones to reduce the demand for pre-made keys and keep their prices low.

Visually, Xanadu Next stays true to the classic Falcom tradition, capturing the gritty and medieval look of its predecessor, Xanadu, in full 3D. The game's atmospheric visuals and detailed environments immerse players in the world of Harlech Island and Xanadu. The soundtrack, composed by Falcom's renowned Sound Team jdk, adds to the foreboding and unique atmosphere of the game.

Xanadu Next was released on November 3, 2016, and is available on various platforms. Developed by Nihon Falcom and published by XSEED Games and Marvelous USA, Inc., this action RPG offers a captivating and immersive experience for fans of the genre. With its interconnected world, real-time combat, rich backstory, and unique gameplay systems, Xanadu Next is a must-play for those seeking an engaging and challenging adventure.
