\u201cWe created this title with the ambition of turning it into our third major series, alongside Ys and Trails. While we can\u2019t say more just yet, we hope to deliver what\u2019s next without keeping fans waiting too long.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Steam page describes<\/a> the game as follows:<\/p>\n

An Adventure Through Kyoto and Xanadu: the Otherworld<\/p>\n

Set in modern-day Japan, where Kyoto has become the capital, the story unfolds as boys and girls awaken as \u201celigibles\u201d and travel to the other world of Xanadu.<\/p>\n

Kamiya Rei, a boy who gained the power to fight monsters in the otherworldly labyrinth Xanadu, transfers to \u201cHirasaka Academy\u201d, which aims to conquer Xanadu. Alongside his unique companions, Rei will challenge Xanadu\u2026<\/p>\n

Key Features<\/p>\n

\u25a0 Innovative 2D x 3D Battle system<\/p>\n

Kyoto Xanadu features an innovative combat system combining two distinct actions. \u201c2D Battle\u201d offers classic side-scrolling gameplay as players explore the vast labyrinth beneath the academy.<\/p>\n

Opening gates that appear at specific points within the labyrinth triggers a shift to \u201c3D Battle\u201d, where players engage enemies in 3D combat using diverse skill attacks and technical maneuvers within the gate\u2019s inner space.<\/p>\n

\u25a0 Enhance abilities through Soul-Device and Guardian customization<\/p>\n

Use points earned through Xanadu exploration and daily activities to enhance your Soul-Device! Not only does this boost the device\u2019s performance, but it also allows you to learn new actions and skill attacks.<\/p>\n

Equip Guardian Cards obtained in 3D Battle to your character for a massive boost in power. Not only will your attacks enchantlike fire and ice, but you\u2019ll also gain access to ranged attacks distinct from standard Soul-Devices!<\/p>\n

\u25a0 Enjoy your daily life as a High School Student!<\/p>\n

At the academy, set action cards before class begins. Attending classes increases subject-specific parameters based on the card\u2019s content and also changes your friendship level with other characters. As the story progresses, more types of action cards become available, adding the fun of collecting them.<\/p>\n

After school, let\u2019s explore Kyoto City! Gather information at tourist spots, shop in the shopping districts, enjoy dinner with classmates\u2026 how you spend your time is up to you!<\/p>\n

\u25a0 Chat, Side Quests, and other variousfun elements<\/p>\n
