Xenogears Remake Gameplay Reveal
I’m a 3D artist, and I worked on this project in my spare time, using it as an opportunity to study and become more familiar with Unreal Engine 5. Creating something related to Xenogears has been on my mind for a while. After watching the Star Ocean: The Second Story R gameplay, I got inspired to make something similar. I handled everything from modeling to texturing and shading, with the exception of the FX effects and the original sprites. I’ve utilized Unreal Engine 5, Maya, Zbrush, Houdini, Substance Painter, Megascan Textures, and SpeedTree.
This project is a homage to one of my favorite games. I adore Yasunori Mitsuda’s music and am also a fan of Tetsuya Takahashi’s games. Back in the 2000s, I remember completing the game in Japanese when I was a teenager; at that time, I didn’t know any Japanese, and my understanding of English was still limited. I recall being stuck many times, and my strategy was to talk to everyone until something happened. Back then, I didn’t have internet access to research. But upon completing it, I knew I had experienced something incredible. The same was true for FFVII, which I also finished in Japanese around the same period.
This project won’t be available for download; it’s solely for study purposes and for fun. I will post more about the project soon on my ArtStation.

Wow I would play a remake like this
Looks nice! Though it feels just walking around would strain my pc, haha… Maybe it'd work better with the Unreal Engine 2D look (like Octopath traveler).
this game needs a remake and revamp when you get to the second disc of the story…
Nice attempt, but if they do remaster Xenogears, I hope they don't mishmash pixelated sprites and pristine 3D backgrounds. I think that this game would be best served by doing it like how the developers intended. They were clearly going for an anime cell-shaded style. That's what we need! The cutscenes would never go well with anything else.
The studio who make xenogear is now part of nintendo. I had played some of their game but I think Xenogear is the master piece
Omg !
I love xenogears, it's a game with the best story I've ever seen in a game, but… it's just another fan project that will never be completed, and the authors are just attracting the attention of large development studios and making a portfolio for themselves, nothing more
真的假的
I HATE remakes
realism is ugly, ZOOMERS & MILLENIALS CANNOT CREATE
that is freaking amazinnggggggggggggggggggggg
OMG this looks so good. I would love to see this come to life would buy it instantly. Gears needs a Remake like this.
you need a team and just change some key things and make a game that resamples xenogears
Gorgeous
Take notes Square
Star Ocean The Second Story R runs crap with stuttering. RTX 4080, Intel 2024
The Game!
I hoped it was true. Its true but not official. Still great work
It goes
1. Xenogears
2. Final fantasy 7
3. Earthbound
And we already have one remake so the other 2 goats need
Reminds me of a better Wild ARMs 2 concept.
incredible work!
… and i NEED that nisan pendant as a loop
I want this so badly
I beg you please, let the build be downloadable, I will do anything
🙌😎👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
I wouldn't even need the upgraded graphics, just finish the story so that these characters that I came to love would have the full closure that they deserve. Still this is gorgeous to look at and it's always nice seeing others giving this game attention. I'll keep dreaming for a rework/remake of Xenogears. Cheers to you for this!
OMG, how was i just thinking of this game being remade and boom, someone is actually doing it.
How I wish Xenogears gets a remake treatment as Star Ocean The Second Story:R
This… is just all I want. Someone please give this guy a job at Gemdrops and have Square-Enix use him (and them) to make a Xenogears R!
Very cool! I have a feeling the remake is inevitable, as long as FFVII remake is profitable enough and Monolith Soft keeps the hype going.
wow
This better be real, dont you fuckin play with my emotions…#sarcasm, this is beautiful and you got the nostalgia firing hard.
This looks incredible and honestly, I like this more realistic style for Xenosaga. Thanks for all the love and hard work you put in!
Gracias a la comunidad italiana fue posible la traducción de Xenogears a muchos otros idiomas y ahora más de 15 años después otra vez la comunidad Italiana (entiendo por tu apellido que lo eres, sino corrigeme) volvemos a ver todo un detallazo impresionante con Xenogears, de verdad estás jugando demasiados con los sentimientos de muchas personas mostrando esto -3- en verdad muchas gracias por algo así, espero muchos éxitos en el proyecto y que llegue a buen puerto. Larga vida a la comunidad y en especial a la comunidad italiana.
One day
Actually a great idea where the background is remade with better graphic while the character and camera angles remain the same style of PS1. Really bring back the classic vibe.
I 'd buy this in an instant if it's like SO2R. Just don't be like Chrono Chross..
Yes…this is more like it…than full 3D like FF7R
que nostalgia, que saudade, e que felicidade eu tive com esse game…ainda amo demais esse game. e a trilha sonora é outra cicatriz no meu coração.
In all honesty you really should have It remade fully and shared. It makes 0 sense you Start a project like this with no intention of bringing It to a complete stage and without sharing It…at this point just dont upload it to let us see cause it honestly feels like "look, i can do It, i Will probably complete It, will probably even play it, but you all will never have It"…kinda nonsense if you ask me…
This is one of the best things i have ever laid my eyes on, words cannot describe how this short demo made me feel, thank you for this
YES!
I would KILL for this! <3
HOW I WISH THIS IS REAL !!
Fantastic work! I hope you're proud of yourself!
