Travel 4,000 years into the future with Namco's landmark RPG saga on PlayStation 2 — the second installment titled Xenosaga: Episode II - Jenseits von Gut und Böse.

Thousands of years into a war-torn future, humanity has advanced to such a degree that its substantial resources of weapons and technology distort the boundaries of human limits. In this sequel, players must strive for control over the original Zohar to unravel its mystery and defeat the threat of the Gnosis, an ethereal alien race.

Some believe the Zohar holds the key to unlocking infinite power, while others feel the Zohar will unravel the mysteries of the past and save the world from the Gnosis.
