Today, Square Enix announced a new the Xenogears 20th Anniversary Concert, titled “Beginning of the End.”

The concert will be held on April 7th and 8th, with two shows for each day (one in the early afternoon and one in the evening). It will take place at the Maihama Amphitheater in Urayasu, Chiba Prefecture (near Tokyo).

At the helm of the production will be original composer Yasunori Mitsuda (who recently enchanted us all with the soundtrack of Xenoblade Chronicles 2), and Joanne Hogg and ANÚNA will participate as guest vocalists.

Mitsuda himself took to Twitter to comment on the project, also acknowledging the hope among many fans for a remake.

Xenogears was launched for the original PlayStation on February 11th, 1998, with a North American release on October 20th. The original game never came to Europe. It remains, according to many (yours truly included), one of the best RPGs of all time.

We know that Square Enix has been on a remake and remaster stint lately, so could something really be coming? For now, we know that they also have an action figure project in the oven.
