D4 Entertainment and Project EGG have announced that the next title coming to the Nintendo Switch eShop as part of its Console EGG series of rereleases will be the legendary Nihon Falcom PC-88 action RPG hit Xanadu. Xanadu was the second game in the Dragon Slayer series and was released for the PC-88 in 1985, featuring a mixture of dungeon crawling, real-time combat, and RPG mechanics such as a morality system, item customization, player statistics, leveling, and more.
While it was a huge hit in Japan upon its original release, it never received a faithful port to home consoles, but did get some spinoffs and remakes ported such as Hudson Soft’s Faxanadu on the Famicom/NES, and the 1997 Sega Saturn compilation Falcom Classics using the 1995 PC-98 remake Revival Xanadu over thePC-88 original.
The European and North American store pages are not live just yet, but the Japanese store page is already up.
