Namco Hometek has announced that the MonolithSoft-developed Xenosaga Episode II: Jenseits von Gut und Boese will be making its way to North American shores in February 2005. While it was previously known to be on its way since Namco's showing of the title at E3 in May, this is the first official word of when in 2005 gamers can expect it.

While February is still a ways off, fans should keep in mind that the localization of the million-selling Xenosaga Episode I was nearly a year-long process, so Episode II will actually be released in English in a shorter time period.
