Xenosaga Episode II: Jenseits von Gut und Böse is the second chapter in the ambitious, story-driven Xenosaga trilogy. Deeply rooted in science fiction and philosophical themes, the game continues the epic narrative of the conflict between humans and the mysterious alien force known as the Gnosis, while delving deeper into the pasts and motivations of its main characters.

Subtitled “Jenseits von Gut und Böse” (German for “Beyond Good and Evil,” referencing Friedrich Nietzsche’s philosophical work), the game explores moral ambiguity, human consciousness, genetic manipulation, and the struggle to define identity in a universe dominated by technology, lost knowledge, and hidden agendas.
