Namco will ship its Monolith Soft-developed PlayStation 2 RPG sequel Xenosaga Episode II: Jenseits von Gut und Boese to Japanese retail store shelves on June 24th. The game carries a suggested retail price of 6,980 yen ($64.47 US). Like Episode I, it looks like there will be a limited edition again, priced at 9800 yen ($91.41 US). There's no details yet on what will be included in the LE package though. Previously the highly anticipated sequel to Monolith's 2002 debut title Xenosaga Episode I Der Wille zur Macht was only listed for a June release.

Xenosaga Freaks, which will be available in Japan on April 28th will ship with a demo of Episode II.
